+1 not repeating work others done, rather recommending them. We need more of you.

It's incredibly impressive that the Witcher 3 runs on this thing. Sure, it's unplayably slow, but there are so many pieces that have to line up correctly for the game to even start in this scenario, that it still impressive.

So as someone who works more at the microcontroller end of things, I've heard RISC-V is going to be very impactful right at the bottom-end of the market where ARM licensing can take a good chunk out of profit. So RISC-V isn't there for desktop use yet, but it's already enjoying success in all sorts of low-powered widgets or white goods where cost is everything.
@An.Individual
First time I have heard someone provide a clear explanation of the value of RISC V.

I wrote a few code randomization passes for the RISC-V LLVM backend for my last school internship. It was really fun, I appreciated how clear the ISA documentation was. Glad I went with that instead of x86.
@gabrielpi314
Appreciate you taking the time to review so many dev boards. Investing in a platform like this is RISC-y business.

As a British person, explaining computers just takes me right back to primary school education videos. Sometimes I get lost in the whole old britishness of it.

RISC-V will take a spot beside the Motorola 68000 in industrial machinery. It’s basically a reboot for MIPS. After all the book “Computer Organization and Design” has a RISC-V version. It has a very simple and straightforward architecture. Making it a great platform to learn computer science on.
@esphilee
The moment you mention Explaining Computers, the channel's theme melody plays in my mind. Powerful.
@Yuriel1981
As a 90s nerdy tech kid I appreciate the Hackers references Jeff. RISC IS GOOD! lol

As soon as someone mentions Llama, my old bones immediately form a vision of WinAmp in its brain.

RISC-V is already having a massive impact in ASICs and FPGAs. RISC-V is so customizable and open that you can stick a super tiny, stripped-down RISC-V core anywhere. Devices bought in the last couple years probably already have hundreds of RISC-V cores inside them. Voltage regulator?There's room for a RISC-V core. Battery gauge IC? Put a RISC-V core in there. Accelerometer? Looks like there's room for 5 or 6 RISC-V cores. And that's not even mentioning its impact on academic research. Trying to judge the impact of RISC-V by looking at how it is with consumer computing is like trying to judge an e-bike by looking at its towing capacity. OFC we'll probably have consumer RISC-V in 5 or 6 years.

Great video Jeff! I'm both excited by the GPU progress and disappointed with the CPU progress. A lot of the problems are definitely software and driver optimization which is going to be a very slow process without more major manufacturer support. The Pi Foundation shipping a RISC-V board would probably speed up development by 3x but that's almost certainly a dream!
@jmr
9:53 Jeff is in a found footage horror film where the progress bar never reaches 100%. He's still hopeful at that point but beginning to realize how much trouble he is in.😆
