Performing sufficiently for cheap production cost, they’d be a low RISC high reward investment.
low RISC high reward
I hate you
That’s ok. So do I.
Lol yes.
5 isn’t low, though. That’s a full Pentium of risc.
More competition in the chip space is always good
No gonna lie, this is really cool. While the efficiency isn’t great, for a first attempt these are surprisingly decent specs for what is effectively a mobile cpu. Their server level ones also are pretty decent, and while they aren’t really a match for the newest zen architecture, they are also a first attempt on an architecture that isn’t x86 or arm (some mix of risc v and mips).
damn that’s a rare China W
There’s this back story about the “LoongArch instruction system, a RISC ISA that blends ideas from MIPS and RISC-V”. The article says it is MIPS-compatible and even runs the same Linux code [Loongson’s] old MIPS-based CPUs did. Why not just use RISC-V? MIPS is licensed from the USA. I guess they have a lot of legacy people at Loongson.
LOONGSON
Are ya winning, LOONGSON?
Long long man has a son??
Why Occident doesn’t do the same ?? RISC-V is a libre hardware movement created and moved by many Occident Universities and yet we have few RISC-V in the market.
Are we too much stagnated with corporation products or what?
There is often a very limited market for underperforming hardware, which is how RISC-V chips will be starting out. There is a large amount of accumulated knowledge about, and workflow to accommodate, already established ISAs.
Due to most companies being publicly traded, taking risks is much less common, since a drop in profits could see a massive portion of the company’s funds get pulled, or more likely the CEO being yanked by the board. So they play it safe and choose already established architectures.
Wait until RISC-V starts being included in every Chinese EV.
Because as a business, it doesn’t make sense in occident. They will be much worse in price to performance, and probably forget to run windows or other software.
From a business sense, it mostly makes sense of you think being dependent on “traditional” is a risk in a way or another.
I seriously hope China makes RISK-V a viable option . I’m fed up with slow adoption of arm by so many vendors . ARM Linux laptops are going to be great, but no ones making them . atleast if RISKV becomes a thing , we can move away from x86 , maybe innovation and healthy competition can return to Intel AMD duopoly
