Indeed. With Ascalon, we will exit this year with RISC-V chips as fast as anything available from ARM themselves (eg. not Qualcomm or Apple Silicon). The SpaceMIT K3 launched yesterday and Milk-V is advertising an SBC based on it (Jupiter2). It has single core performance about the same as a Pi 4 but with multi-core performance of more than double the Pi 4. And at 60 TOPS, it has the AI performance of a Jetson Orin Nano. That is this year. The next ring to reach for will be true desktop level performance. As RISC-V becomes truly useful, volumes will go up and prices will go down. With a dozen interesting players designing and building RISC-V chips, the pace of innovation is not going to slow down. I honestly do not know how ARM is going to keep up.
