RISC-V is currently slow compared to modern CPUs
(benhouston3d.com)
After watching the rise of ARM displace Intel from most of my personal and server computing, I've been following the RISC-V architecture with intense interest. It's an exciting open-source ISA that has the potential to reshape the CPU landscape, but there's an important caveat: RISC-V is currently quite slow compared to modern CPUs in 2024. It is even slow compared to Raspberry PI boards.
