Nuvia chose ARM way because RISC-V spec wasn't there yet, for what they were trying to do.
The RISC-V base spec, the unprivileged one (no supervisor vs user, or MMU), was ratified in 2019.
Vector extension, hypervisor extension and a bunch other important ones were ratified... in December 2021.
Nuvia wouldn't pick ARM today. Plus, with the ongoing ARM-Qualcomm lawsuit, we'll have to see whether Qualcomm's future server chips remain ARM.
