   i think the part that you're missing is that this is what it's like for him and people in similar regions where a huge amount of things aren't an option to begin with and many more things are far more expensive than in the US

   no, i'm talking about the core designs, not finished CPUs you could buy. using a leading-edge node is prohibitively expensive so nearly everything RISC-V i've seen has been using around 22nm to 12nm nodes. if you had an example of

   from my understanding there's the SiFive P870, Tenstorrent Ascalon X, and Condor Computing Cuzco among others

   the author just focused on his personal experiences regarding RISC-V and what he's been able to see himself as an embedded developer. there's already RISC-V SBCs that are on par with the Raspberry Pi 5 and in terms of IPC the best

   the current highest performance RISC-V systems you can buy off a shelf are equivalent to a raspberry pi 5 so they're not terribly behind. in terms of IPC, currently available RISC-V cores are already basically on par with Zen 3 and App

   I feel like that's largely mitigated by profiles. RVA23 is really looking like it'll be the modern base target used for high performance application processors and it makes mandatory pretty much everything you'd want for thos
