Yeah it got me wondering if the really hardcore die folks were all scratching their heads at what was going on at the top of the M1 Max die shots before the Ultra was announced. It was kind of like a clue just out in plain sight! :haw:

Yeah people called it a while ago

Apparently there were some not-so-subtle hints in MacOS as well

espressif are using it in all their new designs but they've always been ISA contrarians, previously they used xtensa

likewise nvidia is switching to RISC-V for their GPUs management engine so technically it will be used for ML etc, though not actually doing any heavy lifting

if only ampere or someone would make a small chip with the same systemready certification so we can finally have SBCs with good out of the box distro support

i was checking out duckstation the other day and noticed it already has a RISC-V JIT backed, not sure what existing hardware that's aimed at

espressif have always been into weird architectures, the older ESPs were based on xtensa IP and then they moved onto RISC-V for newer parts

ecosystem-wise even RISC-V is a step up for them, previously they were maintaining their own LLVM fork with xtensa support but their RISC-V stuff can use upstream

qualcomms breaking the stalemate of everyone besides apple just gluing reference cores together by going back to making their own cores

whether they're any good remains to be seen
