46-core RISC-V server chip runs mainstream Linux
Original: Server-class 46-core RISC-V CPU runs mainstream Linux https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://linuxgiz mos.com/server-class-46-co
A new server-class RISC-V processor with 46 cores has been shown running mainstream Linux, a milestone for the open instruction set architecture as it pushes beyond embedded and hobbyist uses into datacentre territory. Observers see it as evidence that RISC-V hardware and software support are maturing enough to challenge established x86 and Arm server chips.
Why now: RISC-V reaching server-class core counts with mainstream Linux support marks a notable step in the open architecture's push into datacentres.
