- mort96 4y agoARM64 is interesting because a ton of people have ARM64 hardware. In an ideal world we'd all be using RISC-V rather than either ARM64 or x86_64, but we're a long, long way away from that.
- klelatti 4y agoYou keep repeating that the Arm isa has toxic or super-toxic IP. Are you implying that it can actively harm users of the Arm ISA or do you just object to anything with proprietary IP?
- qbasic_forever 4y agoARM64 is very interesting because some of the best laptop hardware in existence (best battery life, screens, etc.) use it.

- smoldesu 4y agoARM does indeed have benefits, but if the most notable ones to you are laptop hardware and screen quality then I'd argue that ARM doesn't really interest you at all.
- maven29 4y agoSmartphones, tablets and ARM64 server deployments vastly outnumber these luxury segment consumer devices. There is a much better business case for x86 binary translation outside of a lineup of laptops relatively few people own (despite the crowd having formidable purchasing power)
- IOT_Apprentice 4y agoRISC-V has a minimal installed based and ARM64 doesn’t. Therefore the potential number of users positively impacted by further development is larger.
- teilo 4y agoRISC-V may become the open source ARM, or it may be a complete bust. At this point, either could happen. As it is now, there are only a few hardware implementations and all of them are dog slow compared to ARM.
- snvzz 4y agoWith RISC-V having shipped billions of cores in 2022, the latter is unlikely.
