2024 might be the breakout year for efficient ARM chips in desktop and laptop PCs.

      RISC-V is also really exciting, yeah. I’m curious if it will have to go through the same slow progression in form factors that we saw with ARM (first embedded, then phones, then tablets, etc.) or if we’ll get high-performance RISC hardware more quickly.

      That’s years away though right? Even if we get some this year, they’ll be very immature. When you look at Arm based stuff, especially the Pi 5 and similar, it goes without saying that their time is now.

        Yeah, you’re not wrong. I’m not saying it’s soon, there’s clearly a lot of work to be done in the space still, I’m just excited for unencumbered processor designs.

      RISC-V is exciting for chip manufacturers, not sure why end users should be. I personally don’t care whether the CPU in my system required the producer to pay a license fee.

      I think what the article is going for is that this year we might get to where companies actually sell ARM-based processors so that other companies can use them in their devices instead of one company making it exclusively for their own devices. You know, mass market adoption.

      The title is stupid and reeks of SEO where you must include the world AI no matter what though.
