RISC-V is an interesting open hardware CPU. It is the most promising open CPU design, but can it succeed in competitive CPU market?

At the 2025 RISC-V Summit in China, Nvidia says CUDA will now be compatible with RISC-V’s instruction set architecture, making RISC-V a viable x86 and Arm rival
Nvidia’s CUDA platform now supports RISC-V — support brings open source instruction set to AI platforms, joining x86 and Arm

https://etn.fi/index.php/13-news/17718-nyt-se-tuli-maailman-ensimmaeinen-risc-v-tabletti
Pine64 on julkaissut maailman ensimmäisen täysin toimivan RISC-V-arkkitehtuuriin perustuvan tabletin – PineTab-V:n. Laitteen myyntihinta alkaa 159 dollarista, ja se on varustettu Debian-pohjaisella Linuxilla. RISC-V on jo pitkään herättänyt kiinnostusta avoimen lähdekoodin prosessoriarkkitehtuurina, mutta konkreettisia kuluttajalaitteita ei ole tähän mennessä juuri nähty. Tilanne on nyt muuttunut: PineTab-V on markkinoiden ensimmäinen käyttövalmis RISC-V-tabletti, joka tarjoaa käyttäjälle GNOME-työpöydän, verkkoselaimen, tekstinkäsittelyn ja jopa yksinkertaisten pelien pelaamisen.
PineTab-V:n sisällä sykkii StarFive JH7110 ‑piiri, jossa on neliytiminen 64-bittinen RISC-V-prosessori (SiFive U74) ja Imaginationin BXE-4-32 ‑grafiikkapiiri. Laitteessa on 10,1-tuumainen IPS-näyttö (1280×800), 2 MP etukamera ja 5 MP takakamera. Tabletti on saatavana kahtena versiona:
4 GB RAM / 64 GB eMMC
8 GB RAM / 128 GB eMMC

Sipeed NanoCluster is a small cluster board that takes up to 7 system-on-modules.
https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/08/05/sipeed-nanocluster-palm-sized-cluster-board-takes-up-to-7-system-on-modules/
It works with Raspberry Pi CM4 and CM5, as well as Sipeed LM3H and MN4N modules, and features an 8-port RISC-V Gigabit Ethernet switch for inter-module communication.
It can be used to experiment with K3s lightweight version of Kubernetes, distcc distributed compilation, Nomad PlayBook automated deployment script, and other distributed computing applications.

Linus Torvalds calls RISC-V code from Google engineer ‘garbage’ and says it ‘makes the world actively a worse place to live’ — Linux honcho puts dev on notice for late submissions, too
News
By Mark Tyson published August 10, 2025
Pull request got rejected for Linux 6.17. And as a late submission, it already lit Torvald’s fuse.
