ARM was never a "speed demon"; it started out as a low power small-area core and clearly had more complexity and thought put into it than MIPS or RISC-V. Over a decade ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8235120 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8235120 RISC-V will get there, eventually. Strong doubt. Those of us who were around in the 90s might remember how much hype there was with MIPS.
