I think we’ll see m1+ levels of desktop performance on RISCV within the next 4 years though. trump will do wonders for the Chinese semiconductor industry

I hope so, that would e awesome!

On their servers? possibly. RISC-V is competitive when you stuff a bunch of cores into it and make it do basic server tasks that haven’t gotten more complex over the years. And in AI, you may just need a cheap CPU to orchestrate your GPUs/NPUs so anything will work there.

I think this is the approach Tenstorrent is taking with their AI accelerators, but I'm not entirely clear on how much of the processing is done in RISC-V and how much is custom silicon. But, as a reletively inexpensive PCIe card, it seems pretty interesting

I'm not sure what launching a DDoS would have accomplished... Twitter will be back soon enough

Stocks overall took a downturn when investors finally realized Trump wasn't bluffing bout his tariff plans
