Whatever happened to RISCV, wasnt it the big new thing like AI and web3?
- brucehoult 2y agoRISC-V currently has an installed base of around 15 billion CPUs, increasing at a current rate of maybe 4 billion a year. The first half a dozen relatively low performance [1] brands and models of laptops and tablets have come out in the last year, as has a workstation with 64 OoO cores running at 2.0 GHz, 64 MB L3 cache, 128 GB RAM. By the end of the year RISC-V SoCs will be shipping with 2x the IPC they had at the start of the year, and also significantly higher clock speed. 8 or 16 cores will be the norm, vs 4 at the start of the year. You're going to see RISC-V smart phones by around 2026 or 2027. [1] something like late Pentium III per core, but quad core.
