> when i see the first raspberry pi running risc v.
RPi is UK, ARM is UK, I don't think they're going to switch out any time soon.
But besides the RPi form-factor that is super popular nowadays, there is a 64-core RISC-V workstation, ( https://www.crowdsupply.com/milk-v/milk-v-pioneer ), there are RISC-V clusterboards ( https://www.cnx-software.com/2023/09/19/lichee-cluster-4a-mini-itx-risc-v-cluster-board/ ), you can make a babby supercomputer for $2 in parts ( https://hackaday.com/2023/04/19/risc-v-supercluster-for-very-low-cost/ ), there's a chip that's pin-compatible with the RPi CM-4 ( https://milkv.io/mars-cm ) and people are slotting it into the TuringPi already ( https://feldspaten.org/2023/10/27/RISC-V-in-a-Turing-Pi-2/ ).
I think, though, give it ten years. I love ARM, but since ARMs are all made by licensing, ARM's main strength in the marketplace is holding its IP. But now here's an ISA that is also low-power RISC without any IP encumbrance and with plenty of manufacturers, it runs Linux, it does embedded systems, etc.
