>For microcontrollers? Sure. For high-end/general purpose chips? RISC-V cores will have to mplement many 'optional' extension to become competitive. >if RISC-V is to become competitive it will have to become much more complex as well. Yes, by CISC dogmatism, I was referring to this. >blatantly refusing to accept simplicity has inherent value With a touch of CISC propaganda: >seems to be stuck in the 90s and the distinction is pretty much irrelevant at this point Thankfully, you won't have to wait too long, now. RISC-V got on-par feature-wise with x86 and ARM, as of December 2021, while keeping itself simple. >RISC-V enables the best processors The very high performance implementations of RVA22+V will begin to appear as soon as next year. And that'll be the end of it. >RISC-V is inevitable.
