That's probably why risc-v is getting quite popular in embedded stuff - smaller companies wanting more supply chain independence.
Hopefully it'll start to get more powerful soon for more serious computing.
Its nice that stuff like debian now has risk-v version too.

Nahhhhhh that’s far more interesting in cause. Moore’s law has been dead for like… I dunno’, at least a decade by now? Bigger and bigger instruction sets have similarly hit their max return on investment. RISC-V is making a comeback solely because it’s literally competative now that frequency and even fancy inctructions have long since tapped out for performance gains.
Especially with GPU compute becoming more and more of a thing since DX11+. Parallel computation has become more and more of a well understood task with great ROI while increasing single threaded performance has been a wizard’s game for yeeeaaaaars.
