Well same (well more tbh) could be said about PowerPC back in the early 2000s when comparing it to x86. Look how that turned out. I mean it might happen but I don't see how is this in anyway a foregone conclusion.
> wrong with their cores which compare favorably to ARM9
ARM9 is a 32bit core, the last design of which was released back in 2006. Are you saying RISC-V is competitive with ARM chips from 15 years ago?
IMHO RISC-V seems to be in a spot (in relation to ARM & x86) where ARM was back in ~2000 compared to Intel. Very promising and superior in certain case, but still a very long way to become competitive on the higher end. Well it took 20 years for that to change, why would RISC-V do any better?
- snvzz 4y agoThey're definitely confusing ARM9 with ARMv9 (the latest one with aarch64). SiFive IS competing (and doing quite well) with current ARM cores.

- yywwbbn 4y agoSo the fastest SiFive chip seems to be the P600? Are there any benchmarks where it’s compared with similarly priced ARM chips? I couldn’t find any
