Isn't Risc-V supposedly supposed to be more secure and isn't open power based on the old risc? I am just wondering, if the level of evils risc-v has done, justifies abandoning usage of it when you could just as easily do some risc-v processors with or without their help
that's the point: we *can't* do a massive libre / open innovative enhancement to the RV ISA without official support.
the consequences - the risk of a clash in the ISA - would be absolutely disastrous.
I guess my point is, they use more battery power than intel even.
what, PowerPC? that's a poor micro-architectural choice that doesn't have anything specifically to do with the ISA, especially when the VLE book (Variable Length Encoding) exists (equivalent to RVC).
