Score one for freedom. And that's certainly worth something. But how well does it perform when stacked up against less free architectures?

- pabs3 4y agoThe RISC-V implementations are unlikely to be libre, certainly the parts provided by the Intel 4 process node are not libre.
- panick21_ 4y agoHaving commercial developments on RISC-V helps the whole ecosystem and makes it possible to eventually have open cores that can run the standard software. So its kind of like Linux could eventually run much of the software developed for unix and took most of that market. Currently its simply not possible that an open core can actually compete against x86 or ARM. Fabs being open will take longer.
- mhh__ 4y agoScore nothing for freedom, has absolutely no bearing at all on our freedom as users.
