Atm, arm is likely a better fit for that.
Right now the arm SBCs actually make functional desktops. There's very little you can't do on a raspberry pi other than run closed software.
I've pretty much given up hope on a non-x86 based chip hitting our desktops, the closest to reach will be ARM.
The economies of scale aren't there, I pretty much end up rolling my eyes at each of these articles.

You can actually run Windows on a Raspberry Pi. Having said that, they make for horrible machines to do actual work on even with desktop Linux.
Vim and gcc run fine, I can compiler kernels and busybox and work on my personal software projects and homework on mine. They don't run gnome or html5 browsers as well as your laptop might but nothing runs those well anyway.

t-try installing Chrome on it...
Many people claim to want an open-source chip, but end up balking at its price tag, this is exactly why Raptor Engineering's Talos failed.

Its not garantied to work but its a worty target.

The hole point of a free ISA is that many different people can produce them so that it will reach a economy of scale and chip producers will face competition making dirving down price. Its not garantied to work but its a worty target.

Free is about freedom, not price.
