Honestly, would like to see more RISC-V offerings instead of 64bit arm. Although the ISA is still relatively new. Also some the extensions like bit manip are not finalized. However, the base instructions are.


I'd love to have a RISC-V tablet one day, but think ARM will be an intermediate step, which will, through gained experience and already built infrastructure, ease the second switch of ISA.


Like on the open source side things, it's already possible to run a RISC-V desktop. Problem is no cheap hardware outside some expensive dev boards.

Also that thing does not have up-gradable RAM, but you do have PCI-E.
