SiFive shows off tiny, Cortex-A72-like RISC-V core


SiFive unveiled a RISC-V based “U8-Series” Core IP that is roughly equivalent to Arm’s Cortex-A72. The power-efficient, up to 2.6GHz U84 and higher-end U87 both offer a superscalar out-of-order pipeline and support heterogeneous SoC designs.
RISC-V market leader SiFive has announced a U8-Series core IP ased on the open source RISC-V architecture that it claims is the “highest performance RISC-V ISA based Core IP available today.” The IP design features a superscalar out-of-order (OoO) pipeline with configurable pipeline depth and issue queue width. The U8-Series targets “performance- and latency-sensitive” applications in automotive, datacenter attach, and edge or end-point deep learning SoCs.
SiFive also announced a SiFive Shield technology for its RISC-V processors, which is similar to Arm’s TrustZone (see farther below).

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech
The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility.
