Hmm, doesn't mention ARM once. A bit of an oversight, or a convenient omission when one is advertising a new RISC instruction set for "purpose-built processors"

- _chris_ 9y ago"Purpose-built" means you can change the ISA to suit your whims, which for ARM requires you to A) pay for an architecture license and B) pay for the privilege of changing the architecture.
- guitarbill 9y agoI'm sure RISC-V has merits, in fact as a hacker who used microcontrollers I think that would be great. Certainly ARM isn't the be-all and end-all. Technically it's not even 1 ISA, but you still know what I meant. Not mentioning the most* used architecture though? Come on. * most = number of CPUs shipped
