Are there RISC-V chips with comparable performance for desktops and laptops on the market?

I thought so, yes: https://www.theregister.com/2025/03/05/china_alibaba_risc_v_...

Not sure how they compare exactly. And of course it never hurts to have two players in the game.

I just meant I've heard a lot more about stuff going on in the RISC-V field in China. A lot of it is focused on the embedded stuff yes but not only there.
