Modern computing is somewhat exciting. We finally got two competitive architectures (x86 and arm) and risc-v slowly building its momentum. This can only result in a better outcome: architectures will compete with each other and improve at faster rate; software will be forced to be cross-platform which is known to improve robustness even if you don't care about other platforms (some bugs are more likely to manifest on other platforms).
- hulitu 5y agoWe got more than 2 competitive architechtures. There was Alpha, Sparc, MIPS, PA-RISC, ARM, X86 and POWER. Now Alpha and PA-RISC are dead, POWER and Sparc are niche, MIPS 64 is dead.
