There is a question of time. How long does it take to implement a chip of X speed with RISC-V vs x86. With x86 there is so much more to implement and even more

There is a question of time. How long does it take to implement a chip of X speed with RISC-V vs x86. With x86 there is so much more to implement and even more stuff to verify.
> Our software is order of magnitudes slower than it could be, RISC-V or x86 doesn't change anything.
That's not really true, the most critical bits of the stack or often implemented pretty fast.
This is what DEC learned: "The conclusion was clear: for any given amount of investment, the RISC designs would outperform a VAX by 2-to-1."
- DEC is dead, long live DEC
I'm not suggesting that it is 2-to-1 now but its still relevant.
