A new instruction set by the original creator of MIPS aims to reinvent the ultra-low power, high-efficiency processor -- and to do so with an architecture that's fundamentally open and available to ...

The energy and climate crisis pose big questions to architects and in order to start answering them, knowledge about some of the most used terminology and concepts of sustainable architecture is ...

What is RISC-V? The basics of RISC-V. Applications and uses of RISC-V. RISC-V is described as an open standard instruction set architecture (ISA) that's based on the reduced instruction set computer ...

The era of universal processor architectures is giving way to workload-specific designs optimized for performance, power, and scalability. As data-centric applications in artificial intelligence (AI), ...

The microcontroller sector is evolving in an exciting direction by providing designers with a growing menu of choices tailored to their performance and power requirements. Unlike the classic 1990s ...

RISC-V is an open-source instruction set definition managed by RISC-V International. This TechXchange includes content that delves into the architecture and design of a RISC-V processor core. How did ...

The ARM-based M series is a RISC design rather than Intel's x86 CISC architecture. RISC circuits use less complex instructions, run cooler and thus save battery, which is why an ARM chip is used in ...

The Sept. 8 learning event from Electronic Design will feature in-depth coverage of RISC-V architecture, hardware, software and a robust panel discussion. The open-source RISC-V instruction set ...

Some of the articles online are framing this as a CISC-versus-RISC battle, but that's an outdated comparison. The "classic" formulation of the x86 versus ARM debate goes back to two different methods ...
