Note that neither RISC-V nor aarch64 are any worse in that regard.
If anything, they're doing much better platform standardization wise.
- tliltocatl 2y agoOn paper, yes. But how many desktop-suitable systems out there that actually implement it?
- snvzz 2y agoShow me one (1) desktop-capable RISC-V system that does not follow the specs that were available at the time it was designed. As far as I am aware, it does not exist.
- tliltocatl 2y agoThat's because there are not many RISC-V systems out there yet (VisionFive2, MILK-V and Lichee Pi, are there any more?). aarch64, on the other hand, it is hard to pick find one that is does. And as incentives of RISC-V vendors are not going to be different from those of aarch64 vendors, we can assume they will behave similarly.
- snvzz 2y agoRISC-V is not ARM. Let's try and not extrapolate from ARM's failings. They were quite late with everything platform related, and suffer from it.
