I work at a RISC-V IP company, and I genuinely root for Arm — probably more than most people in my position would admit. Not because I’m confused about who competes with whom, but because Arm’s best move for their shareholders is also… Read More
SiFive’s newly announced $400 million Series G financing represents a significant technical inflection point for high-performance RISC-V CPU development targeted at agentic AI data center workloads. The funding, which values the company at $3.65 billion, is specifically intended to accelerate next-generation CPU IP, … Read More

RISC-V has momentum. The industry knows it. The harder question is: who can actually deliver when and where it matters?
A Shift That Changes the Stakes
On March 24, 2026, Arm made something explicit: it is now a silicon company. After decades as a neutral IP provider, Arm is moving up the stack. It’s building chips and complete solutions,… Read More
In forty plus years as a semiconductor professional I have never seen a semiconductor design ecosystem build as fast and as strong as RISC-V. As a result, RISC-V Now! has emerged as a pivotal gathering, a conference with a clear and ambitious mission: To transform the open, modular, and flexible RISC-V ISA from an exciting specification… Read More
At a workshop in Boston on February 27, something subtle but important happened. Developers sat down in front of a RISC-V laptop, installed Fedora, and ran a local large language model. No simulation. No dev board tethered to a monitor. A laptop.
For more than a decade, RISC-V advocates have promised that the open instruction set… Read More
During my frequent trips to Taiwan as a foundry relationship professional I remember meeting Frankwell Lin, CEO of Andes, in Taiwan 15+ years ago. As I walked to TSMC HQ from the Hotel Royal (my second home for many years) Andes was about mid point and Frankwell’s door was always open. Sometimes just tea, sometimes technology,… Read More
The CHERI Alliance is a non-profit organization dedicated to accelerating the global adoption of CHERI (Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions), a technology designed to improve computer security at the hardware level. Established as an independent entity, the Alliance brings together industry leaders, researchers,… Read More
Akeana Inc. announced a key milestone in the development of its advanced RISC-V technology: a successful partnership with Axiomise Limited to formally verify its super-scalar test chip, Alpine. The collaboration highlights the growing importance of formal verification in ensuring correctness, performance, and efficiency
