Prompted by the chipmaker's announcement of the SSE5 instruction-set extensions, Glaskowsky analyzes the ultimate outcome to this old controversy. Peter N. Glaskowsky is a computer architect in ...

Despite what has been written (and rewritten) about the potential obsolescence of platforms based on RISC processors, they keep on going and going. Indeed, RISC processors have never been more ...

RISC-V, an open instruction set architecture (ISA), is reshaping the global computing landscape. Unlike proprietary ISAs such as x86, widely used by Intel and AMD, or ARM, which dominates mobile and ...

The semiconductor industry increasingly needs more flexible and scalable processor architectures, driving the growing adoption of RISC-V. Originally developed at the University of California, Berkeley ...

I was just wanting to know if anyone can tell me if the new athlon mp and xp's are risc chips or if they went to cisc. I know the older AMD chips were all RISC, but not sure of the newer ones. When ...

Researchers point to a microprocessor on a space-ready motherboard used in spaceflight applications. SwRI is evaluating reduced instruction set computers (RISC-V or “risk five”) and Advanced RISC ...

RISC-V is an open-source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) that rapidly transforms the CPU design and development landscape. Unlike proprietary ISAs, RISC-V allows free access to architecture ...

Ok I've been reading about computer development in the late 80's to early 90's. Such as the hype around RISC CPUs. RISC at the time was suppose to drive i386 out of the market. Microsoft even put ...
