RISC-V vs ARM
This cluster centers on debates comparing RISC-V to ARM and other ISAs like MIPS, highlighting RISC-V's open-source advantages, lack of vendor lock-in, ecosystem maturity, performance, and potential to challenge ARM's dominance.

What’s so attractive in RISC-V compared to, say, ARM or MIPS? Is it just the license?
Why would ARM, AMD or Intel even bother with the RISC-V ISA, though?
Arm's competitive edge will whither, since other companies are frantically working on RISC-V implementations!
I'm not particularly expert on this, but it seems like RISC-V is ramping up pretty quickly. Presumably an advantage to customers would be that they ideally wouldn't have any vendor lock-in (they could easily switch to a different RISC-V vendor, or even start manufacturing RISC-V chips themselves). They could also customize the ISA with extensions if they had an application for that (although it seems quite conceivable that that's a possibility with ARM too in some way; I don'
Sounds like ARM is afraid of RISC-V...
What benefits does RISC-V have over ARM besides it being open/free?
We're getting open source RISC-V wich seems more promising long term than ARM.
Isn't risc-v similar to arm both being reduced set of instructions but one being opensource?
Why does RISC-V being "promising" and an "up-and-comer" make it more compelling than an ISA that been around for a long time?
What's to stop RISC-V CPU manufacturers doing the same?
