More Vulnerabilties: It's time to get off the x86 train

You can't provide any counter arguments.

Fuck u

I can prove you wrong by showing you video of RISC-V pc playing doom
>fuck you faggot go search it yourself

no

>It's much slower than x86. It's much slower than ARM. It's not particularly energy efficient either.
Not inherently, just in current implementations.
We don't judge x86's current performance off of the original 8086.

Yeah yeah, very original, but has anyone on here even seen one with their own eyes? It's near-impossible to get one of these even in russia

No thanks, I'll be waiting for POWER10

No

What about cost? Importing from Russia is very complicated and expensive.

>vliw
In what way hasn't Itanic been over this already?

There is literally no single way in which MIPS is better than RISC-V. RISC-V, on the other hand, has multiple benefits over MIPS:
>no speshul registers for multiplication
>no dedicated link register
>more flexible branch instructions
>actually supports position-independent code in a non-retarded way
>better compression
>made to be extensible
>better immediate encodings
>will support 128-bit word size when necessary

Not to mention RISC-V has the future V extension, which will be the greatest revolution in computer architecture for the past few decades. Say good bye to GPUs.

>Not to mention RISC-V has the future V extension, which will be the greatest revolution in computer architecture for the past few decades. Say good bye to GPUs.

Red pill me on this.

RV-V does everything GPUs do (vector code), only way better:
>polymorphic instructions
>variable-size register files, scaling from very small to very big implementations
>more extensible for more vector types, and even 2d- and 3d-matrices (like nvidia's tensor operations, only more regular)
But it only does it on a more CPU-like manner, using the same basic integer ISA for control flow, and being able to handle page faults. Both of those are huge. Using the same integer ISA means that one OS image can run both CPU-like (latency-optimized) RV implementations and GPU-like (throughput-optimized) RV implementations at the same time, in a completely orthogonal manner; compiling shader code will be the same as compiling any ordinary CPU code. Being able to handle page faults remedies one of the largest current drawbacks of GPUs, especially in the HPC space, namely their inability to handle datasets larger than the VRAM attached to a single GPU.

I fully expect RV-V to revolutionize HPC (and similar things, like movie ray-tracing) in the first place, and then trickle down from there for real-time graphics rendering on the desktop. Meanwhile, royalty-free RV-I will eat ARM alive in the µC space, and work its way up from there to desktops.

Nothing will beat x86
It's everywhere and replacing it would be a nightmare. And x86 is way more efficient than any open source implementation

>And x86 is way more efficient than any open source implementation
Seeing as how high-end x86 implementations aren't really improving, though, RISC-V has ample opportunity to catch up.

Holy shit this sounds awesome! No more having to deal with shit like Nvidia/AMD drivers, and way better performance in the long run. I'm sold.

I fully expect the V extension to be the killer feature of RV.

This is literally only a problem for Windows. Linux, the BSDs, and even Darwin can be retargeted at a new ISA given like a year of bootstrapping. This has happened already for RISC-V.

Replacing it honestly isn't that hard in theory, and partly in practice. In theory, all one would have to do is recompile and maybe to some extent alter programs to work with the new architecture, no different from an x86 OS deciding to support ARM or something. In practice, this has already happened. As stated in the video in the OP, most of Debian's packages are fully usable, and as the video is a tad old in the grand scheme of things, support has likely improved since then. Legit the only thing that holds us back is big fatass proprietary Windows, and all of its closed-source applications. MacOS is in a similar position as well.

Really it seems as though GNU/Linux is the based, sane, and flexible adult, while Windows and MacOS are like two drooling children with downs syndrome fucking everything up.

There are products you can buy that use power9. You can buy a TalosII.
Where are the risc-v desktops?
I want to have a few servers with both bit right now risc-v is only used in micro controllers and sbc's.

Reminder that OpenPOWER is only """Open""" to business partners.
>IBM is using the word "open" to describe this project in three ways:

>They are licensing the microprocessor technology openly to its partners. They are sharing the blueprints to their hardware and software to their partners, so they can hire IBM or other companies to manufacture processors or other related chips.
>They will collaborate openly in an open-collaboration business model where participants share technologies and innovations with each other.
>Advantages via open-source software such as the Linux operating system.

The power9 isa yes.
Firmwares and the board schematics are open from raptor computing tho and I've heard talk that the power9 microcode will be opensourced soon.
From what is currently available with open hardware though the only option is really open sparc and using minimalistic software to close the performance gap.
I'm psyched for a high performance risc-v system but right now it doesn't exist.

>buy my $1,000 dev boards and hype my kikestarter vaporware goy
Fuck off shill.

Make it by your own. Instruction set is open n shit

This thread is full of fucking idiots.

Poorfags like you can just use QEMU for development.

Thanks for acknowledging my existence

Or we'll just continue using proper architectures that exist instead.

>Legit the only thing that holds us back is big fatass proprietary Windows, and all of its closed-source applications.
I hear this a lot from webshit zoomers who forgot (or never knew) that NT used to run on three different major RISC platforms that were both widely used in the industry and actually more powerful than PCs, and it still flopped.

RISC-V has none of the clout, power or support that those systems had. Just a trendy moral narrative that works screenfetch enthusiasts into a frothy lather and some logos of cloud services megacorporations that mostly just want to shove it in their Internet of Shit toys at best while the likes of x86, ARM and POWER continue doing the real computing back at the office.

There's nothing yet to indicate this shit actually has any future until someone actually does something other than talk about it. And even when that happens, I bet you'll still gawk at the price tag since most of the fags faunching at the bit for a new architecture are either cheap-ass nerds who just want a new toy to gather dust in their drawer or consumers who think the Free Market Competition(TM) it will supposedly generate will save them money, probably on the Intel/AMD products they were already planning to continue buying while expecting the former group to pick up the slack for them.

I really like the idea of RISC-V as the start of a definitive free and open platform, but these kinds of threads are always full of such inane comments, overhyping and outright cock sucking.

That's why I use POWER and UltraSPARC.

It would help if it didn't take hours of workarounds and googling error codes to get anything working.

>NT on anything but x86
>ever
Microsoft has NEVER been able to make this work right. The 90s RISC ports were a complete meme that nobody used seriously.

NT started on the i860 architecture, and was designed from the ground up to be readily portable. It was the RISC machines themselves that were failures and "memes" that nobody wanted because they were overpriced shit that delivered nothing to justify their price tag.

Don't forget their fucking flop on ARM too, remember all the hype for RT round 2 last year that practically evaporated over night? That shit even had x86 emulation like NT on Alpha used to, and still nobody bought that garbage, because it was pointless and processor architecture is little more than a sticker on the case 99.9% of the time in purely practical terms.

>NT started on the i860 architecture, and was designed from the ground up to be readily portable. It was the RISC machines themselves that were failures and "memes" that nobody wanted because Microsoft's singular value proposition for Windows is "it might be a turd but it'll run all your crappy, buggy, old x86 software"
FTFY. Every single time Microsoft steps outside its little bubble of x86 desktops and laptops, a unix like OS comes along and rapes it in the ass. Servers, embedded, mobile, HPC, everywhere. Hell, NT only took off as a business desktop OS because NT4 could play Win95 games so people could slack off at work without dual booting.

>hhhuuuurrrfff duuuurrrrffff MUH GAMES!
You're a fucking idiot. Stop projecting.

I'm entirely serious. This was a deliberate move by Microsoft to get people locked in to Windows. I remember playing AoE 2 on NT4.

I know you're entirely serious, that's why I called you a fucking idiot.

>literally stands for Reduced Instruction Set
Haven't the old x86 patents expired by now? New companies can and will enter the game, especially as China improves its tech sector

They surely can enter the game, but nobody wants a Chinese 8086 or 80386 clone. That shit would only be worthwhile in embedded systems, and x86's day in that sector came and went about 25 years ago.

Indeed, I'm using a POWER based machine as a main and a ARM server board.

Are there any blob free GPUs?

ISA - Instruction Set Architecture

Fucking idiots in this thread thinking RV won't go anywhere because it's not performance-competitive with x86 yet, ignoring the fact that it's about to fucking WRECK the FPGA soft processor / embedded systems market.

tbqh the decades worth of x86 windows games are a reason why x86 won't die any time soon

this, and even current consoles are x86 right?

It isn’t, you’ve to register to mipsopen first.

Ultrasparc verilog is released under gpl. If someone pony up the money to tape them out they could have gpl cpus running gpl software.

>trading American backdoors for Russian backdoors

>What is the countless backdoors added on intel cpu's by intelligence agencies

>unironically thinking Intel would ever allow AMD to eat into their market share
This is how smart you sound right now.

That would only be a problem for the absolutely latest games, though. For the rest, considering the hardware they were written to run on, they could easily be emulated. DOSBos is already an emulator, even on x86.
