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.

There are two primary kinds of ISAs—complex instruction set computers (CISCs) and reduced instruction set computers (RISCs)—which are organized differently and operate at different efficiencies; x86 ...

x86 is a creaky old CISC instruction set nearing its 50th birthday, but modern implementations have long relied on hidden internal RISC engines.

“RISC architecture is gonna change everything.” Those absurdly geeky, incredibly prophetic words were spoken 30 years ago. Today, they’re somehow truer than ever.

As for whether compressed instructions are a good idea, the ARMv8 camp does not see any need for them, while the RISC-V camp is happy to defend them, and meanwhile x86_64 still happily uses double ...

Widespread adoption of RISC-V in China poses a potential long-term threat to Advanced Micro Devices. Read more to see our analysis on AMD stock.

RISC-V vs RISC vs CISC Both RISC and RISC-V are Reduced Instruction Set Computer which is found in devices with smaller SoCs like smartphones, but the same has also been expanded to computers (M1 Macs ...

RISC vs CISC: Two ways to crunch the numbers RISC essentially involves having the hardware carry out all of the instructions in as fast a time as possible – usually just a single clock cycle.
