Value proposition

The non-profit home of the open standard RISC-V ISA, related specifications, and stakeholder community.

RISC-V International is the non-profit home of the open standard RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), related specifications, and stakeholder community. With global membership across 70 different countries, over 4,200 members are contributing and collaborating to define RISC-V open specifications as well as convene and govern related technical, industry, domain, and special interest groups. RISC-V combines a modular technical approach with an open, royalty-free license model -- meaning that anyone, anywhere can leverage the IP contributed and produced by RISC-V. RISC-V enables the community to share technical investment, contribute to the strategic future, create more rapidly, enjoy unprecedented design freedom, and substantially reduce the cost of innovation.
