Rambus has become the latest major industry name to take up the RISC-V open instruction set architecture (ISA), announcing the launch of a hardware security core designed for use in embedded platforms ranging from high-performance networking hardware to Internet of Things (IoT) products.
Joining names including Nvidia and Western Digital, which has confirmed that it will be releasing a billion RISC-V cores in its storage products in the next two years, Rambus has confirmed that its latest creation takes advantage of the increasingly popular open ISA in place of proprietary alternatives like Arm and MIPS. The result: the CryptoManager Root of Trust hardware security core, built on RISC-V.
