A Comprehensive Competition Between RISC-V and ARM!

A Comprehensive Competition Between RISC-V and ARM!

RISC-V and ARM are the two most prominent processor architectures in recent years. ARM, launched in the 1990s, is a RISC ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) that has benefited from the rise of smartphones, with cumulative shipments of ARM cores exceeding 100 billion units. It has gained a reputation based on years of trust and accumulated … Read more

Clarifying Misunderstandings About RISC-V

Clarifying Misunderstandings About RISC-V

RISC-V is an instruction set architecture (ISA) for microprocessors, and people’s opinions about it are polarized. This is especially true given the apparent competition between the ARM and RISC-V camps. This makes sense. RISC-V and ARM represent fundamentally different philosophies on how to design RISC chips. RISC-V has a long-term view that emphasizes simplicity, avoiding … Read more

Understanding RISC-V Architecture

Understanding RISC-V Architecture

What is RISC-V RISC-V is an open-source instruction set architecture that defines a set of basic opcodes and registers, along with some optional extended instructions. The design goal of RISC-V is to provide a completely open, real, simple, flexible, efficient, and scalable instruction set architecture suitable for various application scenarios and processor implementations. The Birth … Read more
