ARM and x86 are the common names that come up when you’re talking about computer hardware. These architectures have been around for decades and power some of the strong and robust CPUs in the market.

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?

ARM is the most successful microprocessor architecture on the planet, with its licensees shipping billions of chips a year. But a rival has emerged in the past few years called RISC-V, a new kind of ...

With Arm slated to start trading on the Nasdaq this week, investors are looking at potential risks for the company. While analysts told CNBC it's not an immediate threat, Arm itself warned that if it ...

Try to investigate the differences between the x86 and ARM processor families (or x86 and the Apple M1), and you'll see the acronyms CISC and RISC. It's a common way to frame the discussion, but not a ...

Five companies that manufacture semiconductors for smartphones, automobiles and more have announced that they will form a company designed to advance the open source RISC-V architecture, in a move ...

The joint venture will first target automotive, with IoT and mobile coming later. Wonder how long before Qualcomm sues to stop other companies from using RISC-V because of some vague as fuck patent ...

According to MarketsandMarkets™, the RISC-V market is projected to reach USD 4.85 billion by 2032 from USD 1.31 billion in 2026, registering a CAGR of 24.3%.

In almost every discussion about RISC-V's position in the ecosystem, the instruction set architecture (ISA) is often seen as a direct competitor to Arm. Most people view the two ISAs as being engaged ...
