First and foremost, RISC-V is a modular, open-source, instruction set definition and nothing more. RISC-V as an ecosystem is much more. The instruction set provides the encoding and semantics, but it ...

Computer chip designs are expensive and hard to license. That’s all about to change thanks to the popular open standard known as RISC-V. RISC-V International, Intel, SiFive, SemiFive, China RISC-V ...

If you wanted to make a CPU, and you’re not AMD or Intel, there are two real choices: ARM and RISC-V. But what are the differences between the two, and why do companies choose one over the other?

The organizers at Elektor are seeking presentations for the online conference on RISC-V on April 15, 2026. The call for presentations is open until January ...

An open standard called RISC-V is rewriting the economics of chip design and shaking up the tech sector’s power dynamics. RISC-V is one of MIT Technology Review’s 10 Breakthrough Technologies of 2023.

What if the future of computing wasn’t locked behind proprietary architectures? Imagine a world where developers and hobbyists alike could harness the power of open source hardware to build, innovate, ...

RISC-V, pronounced “risk five,” is a modern open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) based on reduced instruction set computer (RISC) principles. In simple terms, it’s like a blueprint that ...

The RISC-V Summit North America, held on 22-23 October 2025 in Santa Clara, California, showcased the latest CPU cores featuring new vector processors, high-speed interfaces, and peripheral subsystems ...

Google has announced that it will support the RISC-V architecture. This is an alternative computing architecture to Arm, which powers virtually all smartphones. Android only supports two computing ...

The Star64 is a single-board computer with a quad-core RISC-V processor, support for up to 8GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage (as well as a microSD card reader). Developed by the folks at Pine64, ...
