A new study comparing the Intel X86, the ARM and MIPS CPUs finds that microarchitecture is more important than instruction set architecture, RISC or CISC. If you are one of the few hardware or ...

Explore how RISC-V is transforming the CPU market by enabling startups and companies to customize applications without licensing barriers, as explained by Ananant Systems' CEO Chitu Singh.

Unlike the classic 1990s debate between the merits of x86 (CISC) and PowerPC (RISC) CPU architectures, there is plenty of room under the MCU tent for competing – and complementary – processor cores.

Renesas recently celebrated the launch of our general-purpose, 32-bit RISC-V-based microcontroller – the first commercially available MCU to use the Renesas-developed RISC-V CPU core. The breakthrough ...

A technical paper titled “Energy-Efficient Exposed Datapath Architecture With a RISC-V Instruction Set Mode” was published by researchers at Tampere University. Abstract: “Transport triggered ...

Unlike proprietary architectures controlled by Western companies, RISC-V is an open-source instruction set that allows Chinese firms to design and manufacture processors without external restrictions.

A team from China’s top government research academy pledged to produce this year a processor based on the open-source chip-design architecture RISC-V, as Beijing advances its semiconductor self ...
