There are a lot of good reasons to not jump the gun on riscv. You're not going to get the same performance for the same price point on riscv at the moment. A lot of the existing software ecosystem still hasn't been ported over to riscv either.
- snvzz 3y agoThere's no such thing as jumping the gun on RISC-V. If you're in the industry and not using RISC-V, you're already late relative to your peers. And you will be left behind should you drag. We will sadly have to watch it happen to Raspberry Pi 5.
- surajrmal 3y agorisc-v isn't going to displace arm overnight. x86 still exists in the same markets it's always done well in despite over a decade of ARM trying to enter its markets. Raspberry Pi is doing the sane thing of delivering a good working product to its customers. It would have an interior product if it tried to do the same with risc-v.The fact there is no existing risc-v that comes close to competing with raspberry pi is evidence of this.
