Remember how I said that Moore's Law is "the full-employment act for computer pundits"? In the smaller niche of microprocessor journalism, there used to be another topic that was always good for a ...

A couple of years ago, Erik McClure (a Microsoft software developer, at the time) published a blog entitled RISC Is Fundamentally Unscalable. This blog was really quite interesting and made some very ...

The RISC-V CPU architecture currently accounts for under 1% of the world’s processor market, but that is going to change rapidly over the next years as its parallel processing is perfectly suited to ...

RISC-V, an open instruction set architecture (ISA), is reshaping the global computing landscape. Unlike proprietary ISAs such as x86, widely used by Intel and AMD, or ARM, which dominates mobile and ...

I was just wanting to know if anyone can tell me if the new athlon mp and xp's are risc chips or if they went to cisc. I know the older AMD chips were all RISC, but not sure of the newer ones. When ...

Every major computing era has been defined not by technology, but by a dominant workload—and by how well processor architectures adapted to it. The personal computer era rewarded general-purpose ...
