Explore the 2026 ARM vs x86 battle—comparing processor architecture, CPU performance, and energy efficiency to reveal which chip design leads modern computing innovation.

RISC-V’s expanding role in AI is not a rejection of incumbent architectures, which continue to deliver performance and compatibility across a wide range of systems. It reflects a shift in engineering ...

A new instruction set by the original creator of MIPS aims to reinvent the ultra-low power, high-efficiency processor -- and to do so with an architecture that's fundamentally open and available 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 ...

The era of universal processor architectures is giving way to workload-specific designs optimized for performance, power, and scalability. As data-centric applications in artificial intelligence (AI), ...

RISC-V is an open-source instruction set definition managed by RISC-V International. This TechXchange includes content that delves into the architecture and design of a RISC-V processor core. How did ...

The semiconductor industry increasingly needs more flexible and scalable processor architectures, driving the growing adoption of RISC-V. Originally developed at the University of California, Berkeley ...

Some of the articles online are framing this as a CISC-versus-RISC battle, but that's an outdated comparison. The "classic" formulation of the x86 versus ARM debate goes back to two different methods ...

Blueshift’s BlueFive RISC-V processor addresses Memory and Energy Walls BlueFive claims faster calculations, lower energy use via data optimization Validated design integrates memory controller, CPU ...

Wireless networking solves many of the cost problems of wired networking by requiring less infrastructure and equipment. Yet wireless networking also must grapple with its own issues. For instance, in ...

RISC is a somewhat misleading term, as a RISC processor doesn't *have* to have fewer instructions in its ISA than a CISC system (Though RISC architectures do tend to try to do so). For example, the ...
