I REALLY hope something comes of this. But at the same time, I'm not sure if I would buy one myself. Compatibility with x86 is massively important to me, and I can't really divorce myself of it outside of portables. I just have too much investment in legacy software. Mostly video games to be fair. Which might be part of the reason for the push to RISC-V.
I feel like most of the software I use nowadays is open source, so it wouldn't be too difficult to move over to RISCV once things get recompiled against it.
Yep. But PC video games are all x86. And I do like to escape.
