There were some HN frontpage submissions on Qualcomm's RISC-V SOC a couple of weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37924092 https://news.ycombinator

  > It doesn't exactly sound imminent. Mostly Chinese companies have been very busy designing & manufacturing actual silicon. And prices for such products have come down a lot, too. It wouldn't surprise me if at some point there's RISC-V based phones, tablets & other devices on Chinese market, that most people outside China simply don't know about. Or that teardown of a cheap phone sold in say, India, turns out to have a RISC-V SoC inside without much public attention beforehand. Probably sooner than later. RISC-V is bound to become a lowest common denominator for computing devices especially at the low end. Picked by default unless <insert specific requirement here>. Android being ported is a logical consequence of this.
