Why RISC-V Matters
inv.nadeko.net
RISC-V is a free and open microprocessor instruction set architecture (ISA). But is that why it matters? Here’s my take. Some of my other RISC-V videos include: RISC-V 2024 Update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6mPK3QCrBo HiFive Premier P550: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KTbi8dJjzQ Milk-V Jupiter RISC-V PC Build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX9Pz1TmEww RISC-V NAS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpOy9ydKmPs All of my RISC-V videos are listed on this page: https://explainingcomputers.com/riscv_videos.html More videos on computing and related topics can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/@ExplainingComputers And more videos on film and other making, plus retro tech, are on my Christopher Barnatt channel here: http://www.youtube.com/@ChristopherBarnatt Chapters: 00:00 Titles & Intro 02:41 RISC & CISC 04:51 Compatibility & Competition 09:30 Global Implications 11:20 Everybody Wins #RISCV #RISC-V #RISC #CISC #competition #market #trade #ExplainingComputers

    “Everyone” here is a very small amount of people with required knowledge. Not talking about monetary requirement.

      Well, no, you’re not going to be etching CPUs into silicon wafers in your basement, but it could massively lower the barrier to entry. Small startup companies being able to design processors that could compete with the likes of Intel and AMD would be a pretty big improvement.

      You could learn how to design a RISC-V processor if you really wanted to. You can’t learn how to make an x86 processor that doesn’t infringe on Intel and AMD’s patents.
