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 would love to see it. But I’m far more excited for RISC-V desktops, truth be told.
