This is very neat. Though, I still don't have an ARM workstation... Will we leap-frog to RISC-V workstations in a few years?

I guess that new Apple M1 ARM would count but I have yet to get one.

It seems more likely RISC-V will displace ARM on the low-end where margins on things like licencing are the tightest. There are already high performance ARM designs for servers in particular, and that's more applicable to desktops than any RISC-V chip currently available. X86 will give them both a run for their money but it no longer seems completely obvious that everything hefty will still be running on x86 five or ten years from now, for the first time in a couple decades, really.

Also, RISC-V's "Choose the features you want to implement" system is a big advantage rather than a disadvantage in the embedded world.

[ulzeraj]

Do you think adversarial country relations specially from sanctioned countries like China and Russia might count in favor of Risc-V development and adoption?

I imagine some companies that make SoCs are worried about the nvidia acquisition too and would want an alternative

the m1 mini I'm using is quite nice. not perfect, but more than adequate for personal computing and media creation
