Nvidia are supposed to be using RISC-V inside future GPUs.
- TomVDB 7y agoYes, as a replacement for their internal proprietary logic controllers which operate in the periphery. That has nothing to do with the RISC-V ISA being the right choice for core functionality like shader cores.
- Fnoord 7y agoAFAIU their RISC-V variant can also be proprietary, akin to FreeBSD based products such as Junyper or macOS
- monocasa 7y agoTo replace their falcon cores in the places I talked about in my second paragraph.
- rjsw 7y agoI was just trying to point out that Nvidia seems to be a bit more positive about the idea than "it might make sense".
