Does everyone say "RISC 5"?
- monocasa 9y agoThat's the way I've always heard it. And it's the fourth successor to RISC I.
- cesarb 9y agoYes, because the V in RISC-V is the Roman numeral five. See the Introduction chapter of https://content.riscv.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/riscv-spec-v2.2.pdf https://content.riscv.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/riscv-s... (the very first sentence of that chapter, in fact, mentions the pronounciation: "RISC-V (pronounced “risk-five”) is a new instruction set architecture (ISA) [...]").
