- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoHow many fabs are sitting around doing nothing saying "Oh gosh, I wish we were allowed to make something!". Less than zero, because new fabs being built already have orders and plans for what they'll be making Day1.
- cptskippy 4y agoThe limiting factor of a Fab is the process node. RISC-V doesn't magically boost the capability of large process nodes.
- yywwbbn 4y agoIt’s not obvious that any RISC-V CPUs that might be able to compete with ARM/x86 will be free in the future. It would take a lot of money to design them, why would the company that does that just give it away for free?

The aim is M1 level, and the bottlenecks to that are known and being addressed. There is NO WAY one person could do with with a complex ISA such as x86, ARM, or POWER.
- yywwbbn 4y ago> It works, right now, at A76 levels That’s hard to believe. Are there any benchmarks?
