Comment on Ask HN: What does RISC-V custom chips for under $100K mean?

Comments

I took a look at your blog[0]. You aren't going to need a custom CPU. You'll be much better off with something that's already in production, in the market, well-documented and well-tested. Also it sounds like you have a pretty steep learning curve ahead of you.

I’d love an actual description of how this will change personal computing. The blog post is just a bunch of small technical decisions and opinions, doesn’t mention anything about personal computing. Maybe they should build an OS variant instead? The home page blurb of “No AI. No cloud. No distractions” is already very attainable without inventing a new type of computer…

Regardless, respect. Seems daunting, but will no doubt be a really cool project.

This is one of the kindest comments I have seen here.
