The Future Looks Bright for RISC-V Processors
How-To Geek, Friday, August 4,2023
The competition with ARM and x86 is heating up.
Modern devices are powered by a few different CPU architectures, all of which have advantages and drawbacks. We have the x86 architecture, which mostly powers Windows computers, consoles, and other devices, and we have the ARM architecture, which powers most phones, tablets, smart TVs, and more recently, Mac computers. There is a third option that's still in its infancy, yet wants to become much bigger: RISC-V. Now, Qualcomm and a consortium of other chipmakers are dumping a lot of money into RISC-V.
