Less than two months ago I published an article, claiming that the RISC-V architecture will take a more dominant position in the industry over time.
Since then there have been one major development - China Alibaba announced that it has developed the most advanced RISC-V chip yet.
I've also found out that the EU is developing a European processor initiative and India has developed its first chip ever using RISC-V. Two under discussed, possibly pivotal developments.
All of these events have picked my interest, and I've contacted the foundation and they have graciously agreed to answer a few questions to be published here on Seeking Alpha.
The questions for this interview were written by Oren Bokobza and answered by Ted Marena, chairman of the RISC-V Foundation Marketing Committee.
1.What are the advantages of having a reduced instruction set architecture (ISA) CPU? Are there any performance advantages? Lower heat output? Lower power consumption? The cost advantage is obvious, but what are the technological advantages?
