“A new SERV version! How much smaller than the last one?”
Hate to disappoint you all, but we have now reached the point where the award-winning SERV, the world’s smallest RISC-V CPU won’t get much smaller. I still sometimes get ideas for how to make it smaller and then spend a week implementing something just to discover that nine out of ten times it actually made it bigger instead. But it’s ok. Size matters, but the important thing is what you do with it. To quote one of the great 20th century thinkers:
“A CPU is only as good as its software and ecosystem”
And this release brings plenty of software and ecosystem improvements.
