    ARM is a type of RISCV, it makes sense their ARM division expands to other RISCV architectures.

    EDIT: ARM is a type of RISC, not RISCV

      No it’s not. Arm is a RISC architecture. RISC-V also is a RISC architecture.

      Arm is explicitly not RISC-V.

      With all the liberty to do some research before commenting, I’m rather disappointed to see such factually wrong comment.

      I can see where this came from. ARM and RISC-V are both reduced instruction set computer (RISC) architechtures but are not the same. Arm is a proprietary ISA originally from Acorn. Risc-v is a new ISA developed completely open-source

      EDIT: also, not to be killjoy, but for clarity “research arm” means apendage or division and is completely unrelated

        I disagree. The simplest and best reading is they have an ARM CPU for research, and the CPU produced the RISC-V design.

          Maybe we’re reading something different, or this is tongue and cheek but "Alibaba’s research arm, the Damo Academy, " sounds like research arm is a synonym for “research division” or “research department”.

            Nope, definitely a CPU. It’s the CPU that’s promising the server-class RISC-V processor.

                The part where it says “arm.”

                You’re really not getting the sarcasm here are you…

                  No, I was hoping it’d be confirmed when I mentiomed it could be tongue in cheek. Doesn’t always come across in a thread where some are unironically making the same point.

                    I was trying to criticize the original poster by using increasingly ridiculous arguments, when it was obvious they never actually read the article and even misread the post. Something something satire.

                    I guess it didn’t come off obvious enough. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
