Comment on Why I’m not excited about RISC-V

Comments

on a higher level RISC-V has three problems: fragmentation, fragmentation and fragmentation.

So... basically the same issues we deal with on ARM.

I sympathize with the people who are reminiscent of relatively bog-standard x86 chips. But Apple said this isn't the future, and we're not allowed to second-guess them. The best we can do is make an FOSS architecture and hope they don't... Oh God Damn It[0]
