RISC-V originated in academia as a summer project and later turned into a global phenomenon driving a new era of innovation in the semiconductor industry. Today, RISC-V is in more than 10 billion cores on the market, and it’s being used in a wide variety of applications from aerospace to automotive, data centers, the IoT, and beyond. So how did RISC-V transform from a student project into an architecture that’s being used by organizations, universities, and governments on a global scale?
