Chinese chipmakers look to topple Arm's Cortex-A76 with XiangShan RISC-V design

Permissively licensed, the processor's second iteration targets 2GHz at 14nm

The Institute of Computing Technology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ICT CAS) has showcased progress on a fully open-source processor, designed around the RISC-V architecture, which it hopes will offer competition for Arm parts at the performance end of the market....
