#2I wonder if this will contribute to the world having RISC-V laptops sooner rather than later.

Why would we want RISC-V on laptops?

Just reading up on it, the big thing pushing this is that the instruction set is completely open source. That's why someone might want it.

Why not? a diverse ecosystem of silicon with some actual competition is going to help get us out of this US-centric intel/amd world where all laptops are essentially the same

#6I think that RISC-V has a long way to go to be actually competitive with ARM on a IPC basis. Although it is great to have more competition in the market I believe that this is more of a 5-10 year goal rather than distinctly near term.

Maybe it won't contain a vendor "management engine".

RISC-V is an instruction set - I think you're confusing that particular implementations of RISC-V (of which there are few yet)

But none of them are competitive at all on an IPC basis right?
Don't get me wrong, I would love a RISC-V chip that is competitive with the ARM chips in smartphones but I think we are quite aways away from it for the time being.
RISC-V is most successful as microcontrollers who do not have to be state-of-the-art fast, they just have to work reliably.
