ARM sure isn't the future.

RISC-V is.

I hope so, but it clearly isn't the present, unless you're aware of a RV processor in this league that I don't yet know about?

Future can be 6 days from now or 6 centuries from now. This statement is useless without specific details.

But by providing such details the statement goes from unknowable to unknown and potentially verifiable at some point.

Avoiding falsifiable statements is a skill set that might be worth having in your communications toolkit.

(I remember reading that some philosophy school had {True, false, unknown, unknowable} but, alas, cannot find any reference to that just now)

LOL. So you want everyone to become skillful in using weasel words? Spoken like a true weasel.

Huh. I Forgot the /s

Sure buddy. Just one little thing please tell me where you found a RV64GCV system with comparable throughput as well as throughput per watt instead of a ~100MHz in-order dual-issue toy core that doesn't exist outside FPGAs (and emulation).

The Milk-V Pioneer has 64 out of order cores and supports 128GB of ECC memory!

Its Sophon SG2042 SOC has about the same per core performance as an A72 like in a Rpi 4 or Graviton 1 from 2018...

I don't know why people especially RISC-V to already be on the level ARM and x64 is. The fact RISC-V even exists to begin with is amazing.

My opinion is definitely biased, though. Only time will tell

The fact that large corporations like Google and Facebook have incentives to have a better alternative to x86 and ARM for the data center is very beneficial too, and can only speed development up.
