Discover how RISC-V is transforming computing in 2025, from embedded systems to data centers, with open innovation and global ...

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.

[Christopher Domas] details his obsession with hidden processor instructions, and how he discovered an intentional backdoor in certain x86 processors. These processors have a secondary RISC core ...

It might be a little while before the RISC-V version is as full-featured as the ARM or x86 versions of this Linux distribution, but we are happy to see it move in this direction at all.

AMD Zen microcode hacked for Chinese project Google’s latest security bombshell tool is already fuelling an underground bid to rewrite the rules of chip architecture. A team of Google researchers ...

Usually, we prefer Complex Instruction Set Computer, CISC for desktops/laptops, and Reduced Instruction Set Computer, RISC for smartphones. The OEMs like Dell and Apple have been using x86 CISC ...

In other words, you can have one app, and you can compile it for x86 or RISC-V. If the instruction is too complex, the only way to use it is inline assembly or C intrinsic. The limit is around ~25 ...
