RISC-V: The Road Ahead and Technical Update

on YouTube ↗15m

" summary

RISC-V reports scale (about 10 billion cores reported in 2021 and Qualcomm quietly shipping ~650 million Snapdragon cores) and a push from a mostly-Asia development partner program to seed university implementations. The standards group ratifies profiles (ratified in March after two years) and is defining platforms (SBI, UEFI, boot/runtime services, security, minimal hardware). Recent technical additions include conditional ops merged into the ISA, vector/crypto work, and upcoming 64-bit and matrix support.
