So we had a little bit more going on last week compared to the holiday week before that, but certainly not enough to make me think we’d want to delay this any further. End result: 6.7 is (in number of commits: over 17k non-merge commits, with 1k+ merges) one of the largest kernel releases we’ve […]

MIPS Inc. is emerging as a significant RISC-V processor core licensor under its recently-appointed CEO Sameer Wasson. eeNews Europe interviewed Wasson to find out how he expects to navigate the choppy waters of a processor market in flux.

MIPS Inc. (San Jose, Calif.) has recruited Drew Barbier and Brad Burgess to its leadership team, both formerly with RISC-V pioneer SiFive Inc. Barbier joins MIPS as vice president of products and Burgess as chief architect. The appointments follow that of Sameer Wasson, who joined the company as CEO in September 2023 (see MIPS to
