SiFive’s U74 is the world’s highest performance RISC-V application processor, maxing out at 5.1 CoreMark/MHz. RISC-V has an open-source ISA and is also supported by major tech companies like NVIDIA, Google, and Tesla. Some of the challenges faced by the architecture are adoption and cost, but there has been great progress. China has urged some of its big tech companies to put more R&D resources in semiconductors and RISC-V’s development can take away the uncertainty which is faced when using foreign IP.
