(Image credit: Shutterstock) X-Silicon Inc. (XSi) has created a new RISC-V microprocessing chip architecture that combines a RISC-V CPU core with vector capabilities and GPU acceleration into a single chip. The CPU/GPU hybrid chip is open-source, Jon Peddie Research reports, and it's designed to handle a variety of different functions, including AI, which dedicated CPUs and GPUs would normally handle. The catch is that it's supposed to do all this in a far more efficient manner. The new CPU/GPU ...
