Forget sleek new processors. Russia's Mikron is hawking framed silicon wafers, some boasting 120,000 chips, as wall art. It’s a quirky business move that raises more than a few eyebrows in the tech world.
The automotive and industrial worlds are finally waking up to the transformative power of RISC-V, and two key players just forged a critical alliance. HighTec and SiFive are merging their expertise to accelerate the creation of safe, secure, and high-performance systems built on the open RISC-V architecture.
Arm meets RISC-V in a bid to conquer the AI inference server market. SiPearl and Semidynamics are launching a new rack-scale platform, but the real question is who benefits and at what cost?
Tenstorrent isn't just entering the AI hardware race; they're declaring war. Their new Galaxy Blackhole servers, powered by RISC-V, claim performance metrics that could fundamentally shift the landscape, and with prices that might just make hyperscalers listen.
Arm's ambition to capture a $1 trillion total addressable market means it's no longer just a neutral IP provider. The implications for its customers, and the rise of RISC-V, are seismic.
A decade ago, x86 powered 90% of top supercomputers. Now? Just 57%. Arm and challengers are rewriting the rules.
SiFive just hauled in $400 million, betting big on RISC-V CPUs to run the brains of agentic AI. Sounds promising—until you poke at the power-hungry reality of data centers.
Three instruction set architectures dominate computing. Here is how RISC-V, ARM, and x86 differ in design, ecosystem, and real-world applications.
The hidden engine of the chip industry: how intellectual property licensing enables companies to build complex processors without designing every transistor from scratch.
