  • The main problem with RISC-V is that it is far from mature. Which leads to both slow hardware and lack of software.

    And while anyone can contribute to the open design, more advanced improvisations will remain proprietary.

    Another problem is that the RISC-V landscape is far from uniform. Vendor A has this command set, vendor B a different one. Yes, the core set is the same, but the interesting, more advanced features have split. And not just like Intel and AMD had once split about the X86 command set, but with many smaller vendors. Intel and AMD managed to get things back together. Will RISC-V accomplish the same?
