I completely agree that it is a relative "simple" matter to put a fast core in there, the techniques are known. You may not beat an Apple Mx chip, but you could at least get somewhere close to it, like 50% of the performance. And then RISC-V would take off like crazy.
- Wytwwww 2y agoWho actually has fast core (>=50% of Apple M series) that they could just slap RISC-V on, though? ARM, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm? IIRC the Switch 2 chip is going to use Cortex so even Nvidia can't be bothered to design their own CPU cores. CPUs seem to be a commodity at this point so unless you're willing to invest massive amounts to be able to compete to catch up and overtake them just paying whatever ARM wants (probably pennies) seems like a good deal.
- mycall 2y agoOne thing is true. ARM can't play too many license games in the future, now that RISCV is maturing.
