RISC-V is currently slow compared to modern CPUs

RISC-V is currently quite slow compared to modern CPUs in 2024.

It's an exciting open-source ISA that has the potential to reshape the CPU landscape, but there's an important caveat: RISC-V is currently quite slow compared to modern CPUs in 2024. Today, ARM's success has contributed to Intel's market plateau, demonstrating how an initially limited architecture can evolve to challenge established players. While there are promising developments in research labs and startups, the current generation of commercially available RISC-V processors remains significantly behind modern x86 and ARM implementations in terms of raw computational power.
