Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thank you, CTOnews.com netizens. Hello, Rabbit, Brother Black fly's left hand, Xiao Zhan Che's clue delivery! CTOnews.com June 2 news, Samsung, Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, MediaTek, Google and other 13 IT and semiconductor companies today officially launched the global RISC-V software ecological program "RISE" in Brussels, Belgium.

According to reports, the plan aims to accelerate the software ecological construction and application commercialization of the new RISC-V architecture, and promote the market-oriented landing of RISC-V processors in the fields of mobile communications, data centers, edge computing and self-driving.

The founding board of RISE consists of 13 members: Google, Intel, flat head, Samsung, MediaTek, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Andes, Imagination, Red Hat, Rivos, SiFive, Ventana.

RISC-V is an open source instruction set architecture based on the principle of reduced instruction set, which is regarded as the best alternative to ARM. The architecture, created in 2010 by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, can produce products with similar performance to ARM chips, while reducing chip area and power consumption by about 50 per cent.

Most importantly, because RISC-V is open source, any vendor or individual who uses it does not have to pay a royalty. For these reasons, IT and semiconductor companies have been promoting RISC-V solutions.

At present, RISC-V has achieved some phased results. For example, Qualcomm began to install RISC-V microcontrollers for its Snapdragon 865 processors in 2019. So far, it has supplied about 650 million RISC-V cores for mobile devices, cars and Internet of things devices.

According to the RISC-V International Foundation, more than 100 RISC-V processors have been developed worldwide, and 10 billion of these processors are shipped in 2022 and are expected to exceed 80 billion in 2025.

According to previous reports from CTOnews.com, ARM, which is about to go public, is trying to improve its profitability. It was previously reported that ARM had adjusted its licensing policy so that if ARM granted a partner Cortex CPU license, the partner could not use its own GPU, ISP, NPU, and other components such as modems. This will generate more revenue for ARM, but could threaten a chip with a new GPU that MediaTek and Nvidia are rumored to be working on.
