Quite the contrary, the fragmented ecosystem is holding RISC-V back.
There are currently 3 variants of LoongArch ISA.
The reduced 32-bit version targets MCUs.
And LoongArch64 ATX/MATX motherboards with UEFI support is readily available.
This makes it far more easier to develop with LoongArch.
- hajile 5mo agoWhat evidence do you have that RISC-V is being held back by fragmentation? Every upcoming general purpose RISC-V core I'm aware of is targeting RVA23. That's even less fragmentation than x86 has. Meanwhile, I don't know of ANY third-party chip designs using LoongArch, so asserting no fragmentation seems to be misrepresenting the situation a bit.
- gggmaster 5mo agoThat's good news. Hopefully there will be more affordable replacements for x86 PCs.
