Addressing Next-Generation Compute Requirements
The open source model, proven by the success of Linux®, now has a hardware platform in RISC-V to enable the next generation of innovation. Another reason is that the configurability RISC-V provides is unparalleled. By leveraging the open collaboration and flexibility of RISC-V, Western Digital can create processors that are purpose-built for data-centric applications.
