Yes but ARM processors are more powerful for now. They are also better designed compared to the RISC-V models currently available in the market. RISC-V can't yet take on ARM v8 or v9.
- brucehoult 4y agoARMv7 (32 bit) has slightly better code density than RISC-V 32 bit, although that will change with the next crop of RISC-V extensions (and already did to a certain extent with the B extension). ARMv8/v9 (by which I'm sure you mean A64 / Aarch64) is where RISC-V has the big code density advantage. And RISC-V right now has proven cores in mass-production up to the A55 level, with A72 level (e.g. Pi 4) having been around on developer boards for a year and hitting mass-production at around the end of this year. A76-level RISC-V will be demonstrated on a developer board within the next six weeks or so, and available to developers first half of next year. That's Intel "Horse Creek"(using SiFive P550 cores), and also there is something called "Dubhe" coming out of China which I think is related but they don't like to say so. M1-level RISC-V is on the drawing boards, probably out in 2025. RISC-V is behind, but can already take on a significant part of the ARMv8/v9 market.
