Nvidia's AI leadership and Intel's bungling of its finances leads to this shakeup in the financial world.

    Consumer RISC-V machines can’t come fast enough, IMO. x86 had a stellar run but I’m personally sick of Intel’s shenanigans. I’m really looking forward to open source hardware on my desktop.

      Same here. I don’t think we realistically need every device to be that powerful, tho, I’d love a fast enough RISC-V on most places

        Almost certainly. Current hardware is still for ultranerds ready to recompile everything from source each time Youtube updates. The very near future will see cheapo consumer hardware featuring all the fixes those people figured out. Applications will creep upward after that - like any disruptive technology.

        But it’s already real enough that the latest Raspberry Pi has two RISC-V cores, just because it can.

        You can buy a (claimed, might just be ARM) RISC-V laptop on aliexpress today, not sure how well they work but they are there.
