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

RISC-V International is set to announce that its open-standard instruction set architecture (ISA) has achieved 25% market penetration, surpassing expectations. This growth is attributed to RISC-V's use in Edge AI deployments and its open-standard nature, allowing for collaboration and innovation without licensing fees. The upcoming RISC-V Summit North America will reveal more details about the market share and projections, with industry giants like Google and NASA participating. This milestone signals significant progress for RISC-V in the semiconductor market, challenging ARM's dominance in the reduced-complexity chip space.
