DacoTaco,

There are 2 sides to the discussion of arm imo. On the arm side you have the pros of :

  • big companies still using their design licenses, for example mobile phones
  • with apple making their own soc based on arm, we could see the general computing landscape move away from x86 based computing ( including x64 ) and into arm
  • the single board computing world ( think raspberry pi, quartz64,… ) has moved onto arm with the popularity of the raspberry pi
  • low power usage
  • some data centers ( like aliexpress’ ) have moved towards arm cpus

On the RISC V side the pros are :

  • low power usage
  • arm as a company has become a bit toxic. I know somebody that worked for arm and left because of the office environment
  • despite people shouting “RISC is the future” since the early 90’s, there have been development on the platform recently, mainly a few development boards and single board computers being made and released that are RISC V based and are at decent price.

This is just my knowledge of the discussion, and its a very high level one imo. Feel free to reply and educate me on the subject, specially the RISC V side
