Alibaba’s research arm promises server-class RISC-V processor due this year
Is this on purpose?
ARM is a type of RISC
V, it makes sense their ARM division expands to other RISCVarchitectures.EDIT: ARM is a type of RISC, not RISCV
No it’s not. Arm is a RISC architecture. RISC-V also is a RISC architecture.
Arm is explicitly not RISC-V.
Don’t you mean ARM is a type of RISC? (RISC = Reduced Instruction Set Computer)

Yes, I somehow wrote RISC-V instead of RISC 😅. You’re right.
Arm in this context doesn’t mean ARM.
With all the liberty to do some research before commenting, I’m rather disappointed to see such factually wrong comment.
I did, I just accidentally wrote RISCV instead of RISC. The acronym ARM actually stands for “Acorn RISC Machine”. TheLowSpecGamer has an interesting animated series about it’s development that is worth checking out.
I can see where this came from. ARM and RISC-V are both reduced instruction set computer (RISC) architechtures but are not the same. Arm is a proprietary ISA originally from Acorn. Risc-v is a new ISA developed completely open-source
EDIT: also, not to be killjoy, but for clarity “research arm” means apendage or division and is completely unrelated
I disagree. The simplest and best reading is they have an ARM CPU for research, and the CPU produced the RISC-V design.
Maybe we’re reading something different, or this is tongue and cheek but "Alibaba’s research arm, the Damo Academy, " sounds like research arm is a synonym for “research division” or “research department”.
Nope, definitely a CPU. It’s the CPU that’s promising the server-class RISC-V processor.
Where in that article do you read that?
The part where it says “arm.”
You’re really not getting the sarcasm here are you…
No, I was hoping it’d be confirmed when I mentiomed it could be tongue in cheek. Doesn’t always come across in a thread where some are unironically making the same point.
