Over 250 billion Arm chips have shipped since the first #ARM1 processor launched 40 years ago
ARM1 #CPU ended up being a pioneering #RISC chip, featuring just 6,000 gates, while modern Arm processors feature more than 100 million.
Arm admits that the signature quality of its chips – their energy efficiency – was driven out of frugality they couldn't afford ceramic chip packaging so had to be very strict about efficiency, so plastic packaging would be acceptable.

Angelina Jolie Was Right About Computers | WIRED

｢ China’s top scientists have heralded RISC-V as a path to silicon independence. India just used RISC-V to make its first homemade microprocessor. Name a country; it’s probably experimenting with RISC-V. Brazil sent a record 25 delegates to the RISC-V summit ｣

Atari Jaguar news: This year, there is another JagJam and I'm hoping to see some great, creative new titles for the Jaguar again. The deadline for submissions is October, 31st, which gives devs half a year to make something. So if you are looking for a programming challenge or want to support the jam by spreading the word, please feel free to do so! Cheers!

Loving the days when I get the IPX Up and running (scheduled function test any 6 months)

In the grand tradition of tech announcements dripping with self-importance, behold the RVA23 Profile! An "epoch-defining" #milestone for the five people who know what #RISC-V is, and for the rest of us, it's another excuse to feign interest in processor jargon while pretending we understand what "ratified specifications" actually mean.

Ah yes, because rewriting #microcode to run #RISC-V on #AMD #CPUs is *definitely* something everyone has on their weekend to-do list. What's next, trying to make a toaster run Crysis?

Back in the UK after 8 years or so, heading to Cambridge for the CHERI Blossoms conference tomorrow! It's 12 degrees and sunny, that's pretty unusual for this time of year... . Looking forward to a slice of pizza at Aromi!

Общеобразовательное о том, какие процессоры могут быть по архитектуре. С экскурсом в историю развития.
«Как Intel создал ARM, ARM похоронил MIPS, на очереди X86?» На нескольких видео-хостингах:

Как «яблоко» #Apple и «жёлудь» #Acorn объединившись создали ARM — Advanced RISC Machines в 1990-м, хотя в оригинале это было Acorn RISC Machine с 1985-м года.

Первый релиз на ARM6 состоялся в 1992-м году и был это КПК — Apple Newton PDA на базе процессора ARM610.

Для получения именно десктопного процессора #PowerPC эта же самая Apple с 1991 года была в альянсе с #IBM и #Motorola работавшими над #RISC процессором архитектуры Power. В результате работы альянса над этой архитектурой стало семейство PowerPC процессоров.

В это время у Sun Microsystems было семейство SPARC — тоже на базе RISC, ставшее процессорами и для рабочих станций и для серверов. Первые системы #SunMicrosystems на процессорах #SPARC начали поставляться в 1987 году и на 1989 год были дешевле Intel 80386 процессора.

Кстати, именно серверные RISC-процессоры уже стали 64-х разрядными в реальных машинах, когда #x86 только планировали выбираться из 32-х разрядности.

#Europe bets on #RISC-V for homegrown supercomputing platform
https://www.theregister.com/2025/03/07/dare_europe_risc_v_project/

"Do you #DARE? Europe bets once again on RISC-V for #supercomputing #sovereignty
€240M found for three-year sprint to develop three chiplets for #HPC, #AI"

If the #EU would take this serious, that should have been Billions instead if Millions. And not a 3y sprint.

This would be really worth the investment. We need much more than that. Yesterday.

Back in all it's glory ...
