RISC V: The Open Standard Architecture

A hardware hacker has installed a Minecraft server on a cheap smart lightbulb.

RISC-V International will announce that silicon on the ISA has reached 25% market penetration later this month. This outpaces projections set just last year by other research groups like Omdia.

Meta is reportedly set to acquire startup Rivos, according to sources close to the matter. The startup specializes in RISC-V based GPUs for AI workloads, a perfect match for Meta's wishlist.

Linux creator Linus Torvalds has publicly dismissed a RISC-V code contribution from a Google engineer as 'garbage.'

At the 2025 RISC-V Summit, a full Debian-based table was introduced.

Nvidia announces support for its CUDA software stack on RISC-V CPUs, positioning the open architecture as a potential host processor for future AI and HPC systems.

Linux developers have managed to get Steam games running on RISC-V-powered platforms using a refined x86 emulator.

GlobalFoundries will acquire MIPS to integrate RISC-V-based CPU and AI IP into its portfolio, shifting from a pure-play foundry to a provider of complete compute solutions.

Holy sheet!

A new contest inspired by Google's Zentool challenges developers to modify AMD Zen CPU microcode to run RISC-V programs natively, but experts argue the goal is unfeasible.
