This seems relevant if my corporation wants to put some $M into producing a thing. But I paid like $200 for my CPU and I would love a $500 Ryzen. Either way, I don't really care if 1% goes to royalties -- my price fluctuates more than that just because of our national currency.

You are not the target market. Maybe someday RISC-V will compete with desktop processors, but at the moment it is most interesting for embeded systems and coprocessors.

Seems fair enough. Still, the hype is so big on HN it does seem like the hope is for RISC-V everywhere. It's like saying soon enough we will all program in Haskell.
