So the answer is: it really depends.
I think RISC-V will quickly infiltrate the invisible on-chip microcontrollers. The ones that manage power regulation, SDRAM calibration training, etc. There is very little friction there.
Then it will slowly enter low cost microcontrollers where cost is absolutely essential.
The high-end will be IMO negligible for years to come.
- rwmj 8y agoThis! I gave a talk about how difficult it will be for RISC-V to enter the server space: https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2018/05/21/my-talk-from-the-risc-v-workshop-in-barcelona/ https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2018/05/21/my-talk-from-the-risc-... For full disclosure, I work for Red Hat and am keeping an eye on RISC-V for servers, and I hope it does succeed but there's a mountain to climb and lots of ways to screw up.
