I'm not totally convinced that'll happen in the desktop space. Embedded, I completely buy it, but I have read fairly convincing arguments that ARM might be a better ISA for really high-performance architectures. RISC-V also seems to value compressed instructions far too much, so we could see a high-performance fork of RISC-V?
- urthor 5y agoGiven how much cruft x86 has, there's a comments about world class experts above saying the gap between ARM and x86 is maybe 5%, at best, and probably less. There's realistically probably no reason RISC-V cannot work, expect that the number of techniques needed to implement a leading edge high performance evaluator is enormous.
