> The problem is that RISC-V is never going to win at the high end. RISC-V will never have as much money driving it forward as x86 and ARM. As such, the blocks and integration will always lag.
Qualcomm recently bought Ventana and are looking at paying ARM billions (in addition to their current billions) for the privilege of designing their own cores. They sit on the RISC-V consortium and made proposals like Znew.
We could be seeing a high-performance RISC-V release from Qualcomm quite soon (especially if they can simply swap out the ARM decode for RISC-V).
