Compared to the Mill it's a rather boring design that doesn't try to do anything new. The Mill is even more hypothetical than RISC-V but at least it is a genuinely interesting architecture.

- nickik 8y agoRISC-V started with the simple core to bootstrap software and cover many initial workloads. But RISC-V will add extensions for more advanced features because many core will need them. Saying that RISC-V is boring is a bit unfair because there is lots of interesting work done in terms of the Privilege Architecture, Vector unit, trusted execution and so on. Those will all be part of the RISC-V standard. SGX/MPK see: - https://keystone-enclave.org/ https://keystone-enclave.org/ - There is a TEE working group in the foundation: https://content.riscv.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/09.00-09.45-Security-Task-Group-8th-RV-Workshop-May-9-2018.pdf https://content.riscv.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/09.00-0... - There is lots of work on tagged memory (see LowRisc/Shakti)
