What I mean is, given the open source nature of RISC V, if someone puts out a chip with a proprietary extension, isn’t it likely that there will be a rip off that does the same but in an alternative manner? Like how there’s tonnes of Raspberry Pi like boards available.
ARM will replace x86 and RISC V will move into ARM’s old slot.
RISC V is what you’re looking for
It’s not even the first time 😭
… when it is actually usable one day.
The big problem of RISC-V is the fragmentation of the market, and it is not even a big market to start with.
RISC-V has already been ruined by a zillion proprietary vendor extensions.
Can the extensions not be replaced?
no it’s part of the physical hardware design
