- rumanator 6y ago> pushing ARM64 optimization Amazon is pushing ARM64 optimization because they make their own chips, and squeezing more juice from them is a way to extract more revenue from their initial investment.
- _alex_ 6y agodoesn't that describe everyone?
- saagarjha 6y agoGoogle, since they ship a web browser for a billion Android devices? Mozilla, since they do the same?
- rvz 6y agoIn the next 15 years, we'll say the same thing with RISC-V.
- indeyets 6y agoI hope so. I also hope someone will reinvent mass-market for Power/PowerPC architecture. It's good to have a choice
- ac29 6y agoHas there been much traction in building RISC-V application processors? Something like a RISC-V Raspberry Pi style SBC would be interesting to see, but the only thing like that I am aware of was enormously expensive (the HiFive Unleashed @ $999). I think the semi-open, high-volume, competitive ARM SoC market is going to make it very hard for RISC-V to find a niche in higher performing devices.

- ac29 6y agoThose are both microcontroller-class RISC-V processors (of which there are many), not something capable of running Linux.
