RVA23 Ends Speculation’s Monopoly in RISC-V CPUs

RVA23 Ends Speculation’s Monopoly in RISC-V CPUs
by Jonah McLeod on 03-04-2026 at 8:00 am

RVA23 Image

RVA23 marks a turning point in how mainstream CPUs are expected to scale performance. By making the RISC-V Vector Extension (RVV) mandatory, it elevates structured, explicit parallelism to the same architectural status as scalar execution. Vectors are no longer optional accelerators bolted onto speculation-heavy cores.… Read More

RISC V 3PIP CWE Workflow BR 022626

by Jagadish Nayak

RISC-V adoption continues to accelerate across commercial and government microelectronics programs. Whether open-source or commercially licensed, most RISC-V processor cores are integrated as third-party IP (3PIP), potentially introducing supply chain security challenges that demand structured,… Read More

Yuning(lr) copy

At the 2025 RISC-V Summit, amid debates over cloud scaling and AI cost, DeepComputing CEO Yuning Liang offered a radical view: the future of intelligence isn’t in the cloud at all — it’s already in your pocket. His lunchtime conversation began with iPhones and ended with the death of the operating system. In between, he sketched … Read More

Two Open RISC-V Projects Chart Divergent Paths to High Performance
by Jonah McLeod on 02-16-2026 at 2:00 pm

yun chip hier

Up to now the RISC-V community has been developing open-source processor implementations to a stage where they can appeal to system designers looking for alternatives to proprietary Arm and x86 cores. Toward this end, two projects have emerged as particularly significant examples of where RISC-V is heading. One is Ara, a vector… Read More

SIP Market

When Morris Chang left Texas Instruments in 1983 to found TSMC, he was not merely starting a new company—he was proposing a new industrial logic. Chang recognized that semiconductor manufacturing had become so capital-intensive that it could no longer survive as just one function inside a vertically integrated company.… Read More

Pushing the Packed SIMD Extension Over the Line Andes RISCV Summit

The rapid growth of signal processing workloads in embedded, mobile, and edge computing systems has intensified the need for efficient, low-latency computation. Rich Fuhler’s update on the RISC-V Packed SIMD extension highlights why scalar SIMD digital signal processing (DSP) instructions are becoming a critical architectural… Read More


Verifying RISC-V Platforms for Space

Verifying RISC-V Platforms for Space

User making a call through a satellite

Space applications are booming, prompted by rapidly declining launch costs now attainable through commercial competition. Thanks to ventures like SpaceX, the cost to put a satellite into low earth orbit (LEO) has dropped from $20k/kg to $2k/kg today and is expected to drop further to $200/kg or lower. Plummeting costs drive … Read More
