RISC-V Is On a Roll. Is It Ready to Take a Seat Alongside Intel, AMD, and Arm? RISC-V International's CTO says the open source ISA is bound for the data center as CPU in everything from IoT to HPC. RISC-V, the emerging open source instruction set architecture for processors that have so far been used mostly as accelerators, is suddenly on a roll and appears about ready to become competitive in the CPU arena. The most activity has been in the hacker space. A year ago about the only way to play around with a RISC-V processor was to spend $1,000 for a development board from the RISC-V-...
