Flex-RV is a 32 -bit microprocessor based on the metal-oxide semiconductor indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) The microchip’s open-source RISC-V architecture suggests it might cost less than a dollar .

Device could run as fast as 60 kilohertz while consuming less than 6 milliwatts of power.

Ozer suggests each Flex-RV might cost less than a dollar .

The microprocessor at 60 kHz would be more than enough to meet the requirements of these applications.

The scientists detailed their findings online in the journal Nature .

They say low-cost flexible chip fabrication technology by Pragmatic and a license-free RISC-V technology.
