Isn't Risc-V supposedly supposed to be more secure and isn't open power based on the old risc? I am just wondering, if the level of evils risc-v has done, justifies abandoning usage of it when you could just as easily do some risc-v processors with or without their help
that's the point: we *can't* do a massive libre / open innovative enhancement to the RV ISA without official support.
the consequences - the risk of a clash in the ISA - would be absolutely disastrous.
Oh really? That's odd... hmm... so you have to abandon risc-v you are saying? Pity that's your only option. I wonder if I should tell others about this.
I guess my point is, they use more battery power than intel even.
what, PowerPC? that's a poor micro-architectural choice that doesn't have anything specifically to do with the ISA, especially when the VLE book (Variable Length Encoding) exists (equivalent to RVC).

Okay, well you did say openpower, what is that?
