    Aren’t those chips more efficient as well?

      They can be but it’s up to the hardware implementation moreso than the ISA.

        What could be the real impact if suddenly the BRICS and other emerging countries turned to that architecture?

          It would mean the diminishing of market share of proprietary US software and hardware.

          Linux and *BSD run on RISC-V. RISC-V devices will be shipped with an open source OS and apps. Android users won’t even notice / care about what chip is inside their tech.

          And it puts app lock-in to the test.

            Let’s hope that move happens.

            It would be a blast seeing Linux gathering a lot more influence.

            And the notion of running a fully FOSS based system, down to the hardware root is just wonderful.
