The rise of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) is accelerating the adoption of RISC-V, the open-source instruction set ...

Traditional homework is evolving. Personal computers are transforming learning. Homework is becoming interactive and ...

The chip contract manufacturer Globalfoundries wants to expand its own IP portfolio. A purchase of MIPS Technologies is ...

However, several companies have recently started developing CPUs based on a 100% royalty free open-source RISC architecture called RISC-V which can be used to achieve many of the same things Arm’s ...

“AheadComputing is doing the biggest, baddest CPU in the world,” said Debbie Marr, the company’s CEO. A CPU is a central processing unit, the brain inside a computer. Intel has dominated the CPU ...

An Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) defines the software interface through which for example a central processor unit (CPU) is controlled. Unlike early computer systems which didn’t define a ...

Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. today launched an industry group dedicated to improving the x86 instruction set architecture. Besides the two chipmakers, the consortium, announced at ...

RISC-V as an ecosystem is much more. The instruction set provides the encoding and semantics, but it doesn't specify how it's implemented, leading to the plethora of RISC-V cores, chips, and boards.

In the world of chip architectures, two main categories dominate: x86 Architecture: This is a complex instruction set computer (CISC) architecture developed by Intel.
