I think it's amazing that RISC-V is advancing at such a pace that there are already RISC-V cores that are "only" ten times slower than similarly-SotA x86 cores.

- bee_rider 3y agoConsidering that they are comparing against an Icelake Xeon with AVX-512, it is pretty decent. I mean the answer is basically no, it isn’t ready. But x86 has a pretty huge head start, RISC-V had to start somewhere.

By this time next year the speed difference in shipping machines will be reduced to 2x. Speed parity in probably 2026 -- or maybe 2020 x86 speed in 2026 ... close enough that it doesn't matter for most purposes anyway.
