Is there an objective reason to prefer RISC-V over some POWERx generation?
If you were designing a chip to go into a high-end-ish product, would basing it on POWER cause you any greater difficulty than RISC-V?
- classichasclass 4y agoThe required number of instructions to implement for basic Linux support is rather larger on Power ISA than RISC-V. But you'd have currently better software support as a result, so it may be a wash depending on where your development effort goes.
