As the title asks, what is risc-v? I’m trying to learn more about web development and I find it to be tough to wrap my head around certain concepts.

It’s a processor type. For a long time the trend in cpu design was to have a bajillion instructions that were big and complicated, risc was a move to have a cpu with as few instructions as possible and just run them very fast. 30 years later risc processors are pretty complicated too and the complicated CPUs stopped having the big penalty for having tons of instructions so it’s not as big a deal and now a lot of focus on risc stuff is to be the open standard or something and it sees use sometimes, but not really directly in anything major. It won’t come up in web design really.
