    There’s ARM, with Snapdragon, Mediathek, Broadcom, Nvidia, Apple and Ampere. Contrary to RISC-V it’s already used in many computers.

      All of which also have plenty of proprietary components and aren’t created with FOSS in mind.

      I hope that as RISC-V progresses, companies will pick it up and develop on top of it, giving users full access to their hardware alongside FOSS software

      Sure, but they’re all using ARM IP; RISCV isn’t just one entrant into the processor IP market like ARM is, it allows any company to become an entrant with its own IP.

      Sure it’s not currently the ISA for man main processors, but it is already used by companies like NVIDIA and WD in their products.
