RISC-V Foundation’s Chairman says: “All Your Cores Are Belong to Us”

When RISC-V International’s chairman of the board Krste Asanović took the stage to report on the state of the RISC-V union at last month’s RISC-V Summit, he mouthed the phrase that’s always said by the president of the United States when reporting the country’s state of the union: “The state of the union is strong.” Later in his talk, Asanović said the same thing, but in a much more assertive way: “All your cores are belong to us.” … Read More → "RISC-V Foundation’s Chairman says: “All Your Cores Are Belong to Us”"
