(Yicai) July 26 — Central Chinese city of Wuhan has formed a new innovation hub for RISC-V, an open-source instruction set architecture used to design chips.

The hub will commit to advancing the development of RISC-V, pronounced as risk five, in the era of artificial intelligence to build a system of innovation and security, Yicai learned during a forum held in Wuhan today.

Initiated by the United States over 10 years ago, RISC-V is an open-source type of interface between the hardware and software of a computer that could break the dominance of Intel’s x86 and Arm Holdings’ architectures in mainstream central processing units. RISC-V is based on the concept of reduced instruction set computing, referring to simplified instructions that increase efficiency, and make it more modular and scalable than other options.
