I’m fully ready to switch to RISCV when compatibility and performance match x86_64 and ARM
Ah, so in about 20 years then sad lol
I dont even need it to match, just be usable.
Don’t forget about also having a matching open-source GPU unless you want shit performance for graphics too.
Match? That’s unlikely to happen anytime soon (or at all)
For a laptop or secondary device I wouldn’t even need that. It would just need to be relatively efficient, run few apps I’d use and not be in glued device that is together.
AMD?
AMD has done a bit of open source driver and software stuff, but their chips aren’t any more open AFAIK.
Yeah thats what my understanding was as well.
I’m all for open ISAs, but one of these can be licensed at reasonable rates and the other sued AMD for making the 64-but instruction set architecture that Intel should have made.
help who’s who? there’s three mamufacturers in the meme and I’m woefully uninformed
Arm licenses ISAs and designs. It doesn’t manufacture anything.
sorry, right. I still don’t know who sued AMD, I assume intel?
It was Intel. Stagnating CPU monopoly they are.
How close are we to RISCV chips having comparable performance to consumer proprietary chips?
Who’s this bald guy
A straw man.
I liked him in the 2/sqrt(2) = sqrt(2) meme.
