Is RISC-V any more efficient than arm?

Probably similar but the advantage of RISC-V is that it's open source.

AFAIK x86 is still dominating the data centers. There's a bit of ARM going on but wouldn't it make more sense to switch straight to RISC-V?

Yeah, an open source architecture sounds like it could be a game changer for the SBC market

No, because aarch64 linux distros only became a viable thing just recently.

Who knows how many decades it will take for e.g. Debian to support RISC-V properly.
