As RISC-V gains traction as an open-source alternative to Arm, several companies have announced partnerships and research to bolster the ISA.
Forecasts show that AI will continue to fuel RISC-V adoption upward of 50% per year. In response to this demand, several companies have announced partnerships to boost and integrate their RISC-V solutions for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads.
Because it is an open-source ISA, RISC-V has been particularly useful for novel applications for which developers may not have an Arm-based reference to work off. Additionally, RISC-V’s small instruction set makes it helpful for energy-efficient designs.
