Arm had 40 years to be where it is today. RISC-V is 15 years old. Some more patience is warranted.
Assuming they will keep their word, later this year Tenstorrent is supposed to ship their RVA23-based server development platform[1]. They announced[2] it at the last year's NA RISC-V Summit. Let's see.
The ball is in the court of hardware vendors to cook some high-end silicon.

- userbinator 7mo agoMIPS, which RISC-V is closely modeled after, is also roughly 4 decades old and was massively hyped in the early 90s as well.
- kashyapc 7mo agoGreat point; I only know about MIPS legacy vaguely. As you imply, don't listen to the "hype-sters" but pay attention to what silicon is being produced.
- saati 7mo agoAarch64 is just 15 years old, and shares pretty much nothing with 32 bit arms apart from the name.
