Arm's royalty rates for its newest architecture, v9, are around 5%, double those of predecessor v8, according to management. As v9 represents a larger portion of revenue, Arm's blended royalty rate ...

Tablets today are no longer just for browsing and video calls. They now support creative work, software development, and even local automation. As tablets ...

Typically, since their inception, they have been x86 architecture-based, whereas nearly the entire world's smartphones are ...

AheadComputing CEO and co-founder Debbie Marr spent more than three decades at Intel, helping lead development of several generations of microprocessor. But she said her latest ideas required her to ...

NEW DELHI: The RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) has the potential to open the tightly locked central processing unit (CPU) architecture, enabling startups and companies to develop chips ...

Computer architects call this the “instruction set architecture,” or the ISA. (They switch between saying each letter, “I-S-A,” and—the neater option—pronouncing it as a word, “eye ...

It competes with Intel’s x86 and Arm Holdings’ architecture, which dominate the personal computer and smartphone markets, respectively. China has been investing heavily on RISC-V, an open ...

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 ...

The x86 and Arm architectures are the best-known real-world examples. But from 2025 onwards, you’ll be able to buy a computer where everything within is open and customizable.

The instruction set might have been small, but the implications were massive. The ARM V1, the first chip of its kind when it was first tested in 1985, had only 27,000 transistors compared to the ...

The second is to license the Arm instruction set architecture (ISA) allowing companies to develop custom CPU cores that are Arm-compliant through Architecture License Agreements (ALAs).
