You have one if you have Nvidia GPU or use Google TPU for machine learning so probably every time you use google. It's part of Mars exploration hardware. RISC-V is not marketed as consumer product but it's overtaking world more than people know. Every future business like IoT, AI, space exploration is using risc-v chips. Will it be adopted in household devices like mobile phones / computers / tablets ?
Maybe when Apple starts shipping it, why Apple ? Because they're only ones that can do it at massive scale, they switched architectures twice.
Just look up this job, to see where is the future.

Will RISC-V overtake x86? maybe. Depends of enshitification of Intel. Board decisions in recent years weren't good according to semi-analisys.
Will it overtake ARM? No in a very long time. It has too much momentum to crash. And Risc-v doesn't have big bucks behind it.

By that standard every community from gardening to history will be overrun with techie talk. Makes no sense.
If a generalist community is a bit less busy but on-topic, I call that a win. Communities should be built on shared interests and normies will never be interested in this subject.
What do you see as "general" topics? And why wouldn't tech talks be a part of it?

Read the topic title again and try to imagine what it might sound like to the average person in the street.

Depends on how much brain power will flow into this, and how open this will be.
There was an article today that a bunch of top brains from Intel jumped ship and are going to work on RISC-V, and the Chinese government has an interest to further an architecture independent of X86 and ARM.
But those works will take a few years before they can be considered alternatives to ARM or even X86, even if they throw in loads of man-years.

its the future, but it won't overtake the rest for a very long time

There's so much closed-source business software that only runs on x64 that x64 will be here for a very long time.

I don't think making semiconductors at home is explicitly illegal anywhere, but I doubt hobbyists can legally buy or synthesize many of the chemicals you'd need
It depends entirely on what you are trying to do. There are a few people on YT that have made chips at home. they only have a 100 ish transistors though.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]AWS might be a big help here. My company likes that their ARM instances are cheaper and keeps pushing to use more software on them. We’re moving off x64 as least as we can.
(Engineering laptops are Macs, so it’s just management on their windows laptops)

Yeah, and no offense... Noone is gonna make wafers at home. Theres a reason a fab costs so much
