BOLOGNA, Italy — The state of the RISC-V union is “strong,” declared Krste Asanović, chief architect at SiFive and RISC-V International, and RISC-V project lead at Berkeley, as he opened his keynote at the recent RISC-V Summit Europe 2026.
After making its mark in embedded electronics, the open-standard instruction set architecture (ISA) now sets its sights on the competitive and profitable world of enterprise data centers and server farms.
RISC-V is already well known for its strength in microcontrollers and specialized devices, but this year’s summit focused on its bold move into high-performance computing. Major tech companies and chipmakers such as Qualcomm, Nvidia, Meta, Google, and Alibaba are now adding RISC-V technology to their products.
