Once a pioneer of RISC computing and the heart of the original PlayStation, MIPS has now been acquired by AMD spin-off ...

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.

RISC-V enhances the competitiveness of U.S. chip design firms by creating a flexible, low-risk, and low-cost platform for collaboration. To capitalize on this opportunity, the United States should ...

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 … ...

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.

The real difference between this and the traditional x86 CISC architecture hits slightly harder when you try to run non-ARM Windows apps. The key issue with running traditional desktop applications on ...

Arm is RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) based, while x86 is CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing). Arm’s CPU instructions are reasonably atomic, with a very close correlation between ...

As a result, ISA has been continuously evolving, although its attention has been directed on facilitating specialization rather than RISC or CISC. Other examples from recent studies include ...

An example of CISC is x86 and x86-64 from Intel and AMD. We’ll leave the explanation about their history for another article but all you need to know is, that x86 and x86-64 processors require more ...

China’s RISC-V conundrum China—weighing processor architectures like x86, Arm, MIPS, PowerPC, Alpha, and SPARC for more than a decade—has recently begun to focus on RISC-V technology after several ...
