For anything that sells for over $100 or so, I think not having to pay for the ISA license is nice, but the main benefit of RISC-V relative to ARM and the like

For anything that sells for over $100 or so, I think not having to pay for the ISA license is nice, but the main benefit of RISC-V relative to ARM and the like is the flexibility of being allowed to add or remove features at will.
- Wytwwww 2y agoThat's not relevant for anyone making Chromebooks (especially low to mid end ones) though. Unless you can get an equivalent RISC-V chip significantly cheaper than an off the shelf x86/ARM one why would they do it (considering the extra costs/overhead from supporting a niche platform in addition to lost sales).
