The founders of RISC-V are the same UC Berkeley professor and PhDs who invented and have been developing the RISC V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) since 2010. RISC-V is a free and open ISA designed for today’s software stacks. Rapid industry-wide adoption has poised RISC V to be the new standard for computer.
