Condor Technology to Fly "Cuzco" RISC-V CPU into the Datacenter

news.ycombinator.com Jeffrey Burt 2025-09-19 00:48:01

Once a hyperscaler or a cloud builder gets big enough, it can afford to design custom compute engines that more precisely match its needs. It is not clear that the companies that make custom CPUs and XPUs are saving money, but they are certainly gaining control and that is worth something. Arm made a push based on the power-efficient nature its architecture, and Nvidia has become a key player in AI with its powerful GPUs and now its “Grace” Arm server CPUs. A reinvigorated AMD has given system

PA-RISC Performance and History

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-21 02:04:57

PA-RISC Performance and History PA-RISC was HP’s RISC computer design, incepted in the 1980s and developed in three generations from 32-bit to 64-bit until the 2000s, followed by Itanium VLIW. PA-RISC competed with other RISC platforms in the technical Unix workstation and server market and later became the top-performing RISC architecture, next to DEC Alpha.

Linus Torvalds blasts kernel dev for 'making the world worse' with 'garbage' patches

zdnet.com Steven Vaughan-Nichols 2025-11-23 17:06:25

The Washington Post/Getty Images You can't say Linux creator Linus Torvalds didn't give the kernel developers fair warning. He'd told them: "The upcoming merge window for 6.17 is going to be slightly chaotic for me. I have multiple family events this August (a wedding and a big birthday), and with said family being spread not only across the US, but in Finland too, I'm spending about half the month traveling."

High-performance RISC-V processors: UltraRISC UR-DP1000, Zhihe A210, SpacemIT K3

news.ycombinator.com Jean-Luc Aufranc 2025-12-20 04:58:48

Some high-performance RISC-V processors are in the pipeline for the rest of the year 2025, namely UltraRISC UR-DP1000, Zhihe A210, and SpacemIT K3. We currently have limited information about each of those processors, but let’s see what information we can gather from the web, mostly as a result of the recent RISC-V Summit in China.

Canonical is bullish in promoting Ubuntu for RISC-V devices, be it enthusiast-orientated hardware like DeepComputing’s RISC-V tablet, single-board computers, or embedded equipment. But with a new long-term support (LTS) release looming, it’s rethinking the kind of RISC-V hardware it wants to support going forward. A recent bug report filed against Ubuntu’s upgrading tool confirmed a major change with regards to the RISC-V requirements for the upcoming Ubuntu 25.10 release — most existing RISC-

//php echo do_shortcode('[responsivevoice_button voice="US English Male" buttontext="Listen to Post"]') ?> —First in a three-part series Introduced in 2014, the RISC-V instruction set architecture has been evolving at a pace that Arm and x86 ISAs have never experienced. Initially, RISC-V cores were used solely for microcontrollers and applications that did not require high performance, but rather benefited from low cost and low power.
