RISC-V set to announce 25% market penetration — open-standard ISA is ahead of schedule, securing fast-growing silicon footprint

ARM has some competition in the reduced-complexity chip space, and it’s gaining ground quickly. RISC-V International plans to announce that silicon on the open-standard has reached 25% market penetration later this month, according to an announcement posted to LinkedIn. Market analysts SHD Group are primed to announce their findings on RISC-V market share at the RISC-V Summit North America.

RISC-V is an open-standard (not to be confused with open-source) instruction set architecture (ISA) for CPUs,…
