Doesn't surprise me. RISC-V seems to have hit a critical point where it can compete with ARM and x86 on some tasks. It probably wont be replacing our desktop processors just yet, but you might start seeing it in embedded applications more and more. I know nothing of it's technical advantages and issues, but being completely open and free for any manufacturer to take and use probably sets it above ARM for many uses.

I can’t find much about him, odd.
