> Imagine trying to compile this on ARM 10 years ago

Cortex A57 is 14 years old and is significantly faster than the 9 year old Cortex A55 these RISC-V cores are being compared against.

So yes it's many years behind. Many, many years.

SpacemiT K3 is on par with Rockchip RK3588. So, about 4 years behind ARM.

Tenstorrent Atlantis (first Ascalon silicon) should ship in Q2/Q3 and be twice as fast. About as fast as Ryzen5. So, about 5 years behind AMD.

But even the K3 has faster AI than Apple Silicon or Qualcomm X Elite.

Current trend-lines suggest ARM64 and RISC-V performance parity before 2030.

I love the optimisim, but I do thimk your time line is little quick. It will be more like 10 years than 4.

That'd be ~7 years behind, not 4. Cortex A76 came out in late 2018. Also what benchmarks are you looking at?

Which Ryzen 5? The first Ryzen 5 came out in 2017, which was a lot more than 5 years ago.

Which isn't RISC-V. Might as well brag about a RISC-V CPU with an RTX 5090 being faster at CUDA than a Nintendo Switch. That's a coprocessor that has nothing to do with the ISA or CPU core.

L. O. fucking. L. That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.
