Every month I hope to read an article about some bug name using RISCV in consumer hardware as a flagship chip, but alas, it's ARM again.

Is there a RISCV chip available with comparable performance & efficiency to current ARM chips? Seems like Valve would kill any chance their headset has if they unnecessarily reduced time between charging cycles.

All the RISC-V chips I see in the wild so far are stationary or tiny (like some new ESP wifi chips now run on RISC-V)

Mobile / laptop grade performance chips seems a few years away still, tons of optimizations needed (especially fast performance scaling and idle modes) for that

U and I are right next to eachother..

But I'm wishing the same, good enough riscv for everyday usage. Browsing and such.

we may be ideologically aligned, I dunno...

That will only happen for a company that cares about price and nothing else. The performance is vastly inferior, which matters in gaming.
