ARM vs RISC-V: What Are the Major Differences?
What are the major differences between RISC-V and ARM, and will one win over the other?
CISC allows a computer to do more in a single instruction cycle, while RISC allows for simpler programming. Generally speaking, RISC requires more clock cycles to complete the same instruction in CISC but can do so more efficiently (energy-wise), making them ideal for mobile applications. While x86/x64 remains the dominant architecture in the heavy processing market, ARM may face serious competition from a new processor architecture, RISC-V.
