Scaleway Introduces First RISC-V Servers on the Cloud

The world’s first line of RISC-V servers has been introduced by European cloud operator Scaleway, which claims this is a “firm commitment to technological independence” in a market where companies are increasingly vying for control over semiconductor production.

The University of California, Berkeley developed the free and open instruction set architecture known as RISC-V, which has the potential to completely transform the semiconductor industry. Even though RISC-V is a relatively new design, it is already producing high performance levels, which makes it a competitive substitute for more well-known architectures like ARM and x86.

Alibaba’s T-Head TH1520 SoC, 16GB RAM, and 128GB eMMC storage are included in Scaleway’s RISC-V servers. Priced at an affordable €15.99 a month (or €0.042 per hour), these Elastic Metal RV1 servers run on Debian, Ubuntu, or Alpine Linux and offer a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet network card as well as public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

“We’re delighted to be the first to offer RISC-V servers in the cloud, opening up new opportunities for our customers to meet growing dema
