I would love if there was an ARM flavour with 10+ hours of battery life under sustained use (like I can get on my M1).

- systemtest 3y agoI don't think I will ever purchase an x86 processor anymore. Everything in my home is ARM powered. If Framework switches to ARM I will strongly consider them.
- guerby 3y agoWhy not RISC-V?

- FullyFunctional 3y agoWhile I'm bullish on RISC-V (both personally and professionally since before RISC-V was even public), there are currently no chips on the market that comes even close to high-end Arms, and most specifically none for mobile devices. So that's why. This will certainly change, but I suspect laptops will be last, with datacenter (ML esp.) and ultra-mobile (ie. low-end cellphones) arriving first.
- G3rn0ti 3y agoThe future is RISC-V not ARM. The former will be everywhere, the latter only in Apple devices.
- antoineMoPa 3y agoARM is probably the architecture in the majority of devices currently if you account for android phones and iphones.
- timbit42 3y agoSo ARM is the present.
- antoineMoPa 3y agoTrue. RISC-V is out of my radar, what I'd really prefer is any linux laptop that's got >10h battery life and low heat output. Probably that's something that both ARM and RISC-V have in common?
