SiFive introduces RVA23-compliant Performance P570 Gen3 RISC-V core for consumer and AIoT applications

SiFive has just launched the SiFive Performance P570 Gen 3 out-of-order RISC-V processor core, compliant with the RVA23 ISA profile, and designed for edge AI, high-end consumer, and commercial IoT applications running Android or enterprise-grade OS. Besides the CPU core, SiFive also provides system IP, such as the RISC-V standard-compliant advanced interrupt architecture (AIA), WorldGuard security, and a second-generation RISC-V standard-compliant IOMMU to build a complete SoC with up to 16x P570 Gen 3 cores. Performance P570 Gen3 specifications: Support for all mandatory RVA23 profile extensions for compatibility with modern operating systems such as Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and Red Hat Enterprise Adds extensions for enhanced security and performance, including Smepmp, Zvkng, Zvksg, Zicfilp, Zicfiss, Zfbfmin, Zvfbfmin, Zvfbfwma, and Zvdot4a8i Third-generation out-of-order core building on earlier P550 Gen1 and P470 Gen2 cores 3-wide, 13-stage fully out–of order execution superscalar pipeline Single 128-bit vector pipeline with dot product extensions Supports multicore coherence

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang invests $400M in SiFive, backing RISC-V as an "ARM killer." After failed ARM acquisition, Nvidia integrates NVLink Fusion into SiFive's RISC-V cores to build an AI server ecosystem without ARM dependency.
ARM dominates via licensing fees (1-3% per chip) and expands AI CPU lines, clashing with Qualcomm. RISC-V, open and free since 2015, is ideal for AI, data centers, and autonomous driving, offering cost savings and IP control.

Linux 7.0 Release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures

Linus Torvalds has just released Linux 7.0 on LKML: The last week of the release continued the same "lots of small fixes" trend, but it all really does seem pretty benign, so I've tagged the final 7.0 and pushed it out. I suspect it's a lot of AI tool use that will keep finding corner cases for us for a while, so this may be the "new normal" at least for a while. Only time will tell. Anyway, this last week was a little bit of everything: networking (core and drivers), arch fixes, tooling and selftests, and various random fixes all over the place. Let's keep testing, and obviously tomorrow the merge window for 7.1 opens. I already have four dozen pull requests pending - thank you to all the early people. Linus This follows the Linux 6.19 release about two months ago, which brought us PCIe link encryption and

Linux 6.19 Release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures

Linus Torvalds has just released Linux 6.19 on the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML): No big surprises anywhere last week, so 6.19 is out as expected - just as the US prepares to come to a complete standstill later today watching the latest batch of televised commercials. The betting man would expect them all to be AI-generated, but maybe some enterprising company decides to buck the trend? Doubtful, but there's always a slight chance. But for anybody outside the US, maybe taking the newest kernel out for a spin instead is an option? I have more than three dozen pull requests for when the merge window opens tomorrow - thank you to all the early maintainers. And as people have mostly figured out, I'm getting to the point where I'm being confused by large numbers (almost running out of fingers and toes again), so the next kernel is going to

Linux 6.18 release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures

Linus Torvalds has just announced the release of Linux 6.18 on the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML), which will likely become the next LTS kernel: So I'll have to admit that I'd have been happier with slightly less bugfixing noise in this last week of the release, but while there's a few more fixes than I would hope for, there was nothing that made me feel like this needs more time to cook. So 6.18 is tagged and pushed out. Most of the last-minute fixes are minor fixes to drivers, with some random noise elsewhere (bluetooth, ceph, afs..). Nothing strikes me as standing out, but hey, there's a shortlog appended if you want to see the details. And this obviously means that the merge window will open tomorrow, and I already have three dozen pull requests pending. Thanks. And as I already mentioned a couple of weeks ago in one
