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.
