>would be a sudden rise in competition from other players. This is exactly what I see happening. AMD will have to move to RISC-V to stay competitive, and x86 acceleration is a compelling feature they can offer. >Windows already runs on ARM but hasn't been announced to run on RISC-V, after all. I doubt this one will be an issue for long. During last summit, in talks by the RISC-V foundation itself (specifically, the technical ones about ongoing ISA work), Windows was mentioned a few times as the reasoning for some new specifications. This strongly implies Microsoft is working on Windows for RISC-V, even if Microsoft themselves haven't said a word about it.
