   @xerz Well it really depends on what you want from riscv.
   
   Like it would be interesting to see market share of riscv32 in the microcontroller space, probably ate a lot of ARM market share and made some non-arm chips obsolete.
   
   And I could see riscv eating a lot of arm market share when it comes to embeddeds, for other machines I think it'll take some more time as you need good third-party software support to become relevant.

     @novenary @xerz Well for embedded you still need power efficiency, but there's a lot less software involved and typically you control the software stack enough so that like if V8 doesn't have JIT support you can choose another language instead at least for few bits.
     
     Meanwhile ARM is still barely relevant on the server space (quite visible in what blobs like docker images are made available, but also cloud side of things) and pretty much unknown on the laptop/desktop side of things outside of MacOS and ChromeOS, both of which being so much of a walled-garden that they don't really influence outside of them.

     @lanodan @xerz yeah, it's fine for microcontroller applications where cost trumps everything else, or when you just need embedded linux with no serious performance requirements
