Risc-v (pronounced "risk-five") is a new open source instruction set architecture. Unlike other open ISAs, Risc-v is designed for practical use such as in warehouse-scale cloud computers, high-end mobile phones and the smallest embedded systems. It is already being used by companies such as nivida and google.
So /g/, have you ordered your first risc-v chip yet?
Call me when it comes with an open source motherboard.
DOA
Does it have Chinese 2bux boards?
talk about risc-v:

not yet, but you can buy a dev an arduino like device for $59. expect a flood of them in the next few years when the Chinese figure out you can make them with no licensing fees.

IT'S SOOOOO SLOOOW AND EXPENSIVE!

Arnt open source CPUs typically fabricated at like 300nm and run at 50mhz?
this looks eerily like an arduino
potentially stupid sounding questuon, but i worry; do i need to use the godawful arduino ide?
>>58300153
Of course not.
>>58300167
so is there an open source compiler? how do you program it?
where can i buy one?
>>58300140
not since AMD spun off its semiconductor manufacturing division. Global foundries will make you a CPU if you have a few thousand dollars lying around.
Global Foundries can make 14 nm chips

Funny how poo-in-loo were the first to show interest in it before china. Sounds like excellent stuff, it's what many expected out of ARM, really. Would love to see the first "Orange Pis" with RISC-V in them, but that's still a few years away.

I'd imagine GCC supports it
Does it run Linux?

I thought it's still millions for masks and things before you get a chip.

*tens of millions
