Intel and AMD chips are RISC chips that just present x86/64 interfaces to the other components. RISC came about when we started getting to compiled code i.e C programming it turned out that most programs only actually uses a small subset of the instructions available on the CPU so cutting out the ones not used allowed for much simpler and thus cheaper CPU's.

Risc-V is cool, but the forces that drove the creation of the IME may well give us similar type things on RISC V systems as well. If you can replace discrete chips with weird complex features on the CPU, it saves per-unit costs. So it's hard to imagine this kind of thing not happening. Now, in Risc-V we may get a choice of cheaper systems with such approaches, and more expensive ones without. Or, due to market forces, we may not get a choice.

Hi Alan, the 'BBC B Micro' sounds like its the Model B. These were before Acorn used ARM chips. If it was a text interface (like a commodore 64) when you started it up, it was the predecessor. If it had a windows-like interface that you controlled with a mouse, then it was the ARM-powered generation of Acorn Archimedes computers. I had a few of these back in the day, awesome machines for the time.
@jandrews3779 ай бұрын
Further to this, interestingly, the ARM chips at the time had a similar ISA size to the current risc-v chips. The current Arm chips ISA are much larger than competing x86 chips back in the late '80s. Think of risc-v as a reboot of the original arm chips, but with better architecture, open source, and small process node.
@gdclemo8 ай бұрын
The BBC Model B microcomputer used a 6502 8-bit processor which predates RISC, though it has been described as "Classic RISC" for its minimalist design. You could also connect a second processor to the BBC using the "Tube" interface, and this CPU could be of various different architectures such as 6502, Z80 and more. I think this was used to test the earliest ARM processors while they were being developed.

I didn't not verify this, but their was this story from China in 2020 or in the few years that followed that the most popular DIY ARM-based Microcontroller wasn't being produced enough and that a RISC-V competitor took over the most popular spot because it could be slotted in place, for a very comparable price and with more features and pretty similar power envelope as well.

It makes sense, previous ESP boards used the xtensa ISA, wich was popular for DSPs because it is very flexible, allowing a company to only put the useful features on its CPU. The downside is that Xtensa is a small ISA, much smaller than RISC-V. (In popularity). And due to its extreme flexibility, every Xtensa CPU is incompatible, needing a custom LLVM fork for every CPU model. Risc-v have standardized extensions, so it still is a quite flexible ISA, but you can just use regular LLVM, no need for custom fork.

One thing that comes to my mind is that while ISA is open, the IP for the cores and CPUs are not. The good thing here is that we might see limited license impact of the CPUs as Intel/AMD/Arm would see true competition on the market. The downside is that many OSS projects are going back to closed licenses as a side effect of cloud behemoths making money for free on others work. I guess with RISC-V ISA it might be the same. While technically open, we will have few major market players dictating the prices, at least in high end market

Intel and AMD have cross-licensing agreements for many of these extensions, and it's one of the reasons why Intel and AMD CPUs are mostly cross-compatible.

I feel like the success of risc-v in ai accelerators and co-processors has had the interesting effect of illustrating how risc-v (broadly speaking) cannot be standardised to the degree required by consumer computer platforms without abandoning the flexibility and ease of adaptation that is its primary competitive advantage. it will be interesting to see if within the broader risc-v architecture we start to see more restrictive and domain specific sub-standards emerge that allow for increased code portability between different manufacturers

Interesting video, as always. I built a pocket CO2 sensor based around a CH32V003 RISC MCU. Dirt cheap and works well. Not my design, I hasten to add. I’m not that smart!
