Remember how I said that Moore's Law is "the full-employment act for computer pundits"? In the smaller niche of microprocessor journalism, there used to be another topic that was always good for a ...

Go read about EPIC, VLIW versus superscalar cores to see what modern computer architects are arguing over, instead of silly ancient terms like CISC vs RISC.<BR><BR>The answer to your question is that ...

Welcome to Upscaled, our explainer show where we dig into the bits of tech that make your gadgets faster. Today, I want to talk about instruction set architectures. Apple announced it's building its ...

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 ...

The RISC-V Summit North America, held on 22-23 October 2025 in Santa Clara, California, showcased the latest CPU cores featuring new vector processors, high-speed interfaces, and peripheral subsystems ...

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 ...

Akeana, a well-funded, 150-strong configurable RISC-V processor startup came out of stealth mode earlier this month to challenge the ‘status quo’ of the semiconductor industry, hoping to unseat both ...
