A RISC-V processor designed for speech recognition: It’s time to follow me into the nerdy world of chip architectures. RISC-V, which I’ve written about before, is a new, open-source architecture. The key benefit of RISC-V is that it makes it much cheaper to build new chips. SiFive, a company that provides tools for designing RISC-V chips and chipmaker QuickLogic are using RISC-V to build a series of systems on a chip for the IoT including one that will provide always-on listening. Making such processors cheaper will allow new use cases for voice-activated devices.
