Slowly but surely, RISC-V, the Open Source architecture for everything from microcontrollers to server CPUs is making inroads in the community. Now SiFive, the major company behind putting RISC-V c...

That's damned nifty but at a grand for a 1.5GHz system, I don't see them selling that many to consumers.

    Is it RISC-Vee, or RISC Five?

    Another pronunciation valid for the present is: "Too damn'd expensive".
    Or the "I'm going to make a donation to keep them afloat, they do show a good promise" equivalent.

    I think that's the correct pronunciation: "Too damn'd expensive". I've been looking at options, and RISC-V has been one I've considered. I can't justify a thousand bucks for it though. My next build will almost certainly be AMD, just like the last ten or more.

      Well, that's not unexpected, I kinda suspect that "donation of thousand bucks" sound like foreign languages to you - Greek perhaps?

      the same 10 idiots talking to each other, saying the same dumb shit over and over again. i was considering buying something to get me to work and back. I looked at the ford focus hybrid, but with it's battery it's too ridiculously expensive to drive to work. I'm going to go with a minibus, like my last 10 work vehicles.

      since you won't be able to figure it out on your own: i'm lafing at you retard. please do tell me about that use case you can use either a risk-v or and amd chip. i'll be glad to explain why one of those is a retarded choice for that use case.

        Personal use home system. What "use case" is that, precisely? I've dismissed the Ryzen from my potentials, despite it's relatively low cost. You with all the knowledge might be able to tell all of us why I dismissed the Ryzen?

          "personal home system" - apparently even after the analogy and explanation you still don't understand. This is why I like reading your posts. it's very entertaining. so, for driving to work, you looked at a moped and a car, and you picked the car because the moped was overpriced for what it was. you didn't base your decision on milage or weather. let me ask you, when you get something to eat, what is your decision tree between an apple and a steak dinner? still don't get it? please let me know if you don't. I won't explain, but I will provide more examples. I get an orgasm picturing your confused face when you read them.

          I have no fucking idea what you're talking about after "personal home system" so I'm ignoring that as "something retarded a retard said - don't try to understand it"

          You know where I remember you from, a long time ago? When you were arguing that quartz was aluminum because the quartz molecule was aluminum. I asked you if you thought splenda was chlorine, and if a house was a brick. you didn't get it then either.

    I would also go that route, except I know my $1,000 contribution is a mosquito bite to RISC-V, but is a big hole in my annual spending.

    / $1,000 ain't nuthin
    // when you're spinning silicon
    /// it's one big thing, or lots of little things spread over a year, to folks like me

    Why shouldn't we judge a book by it's cover? It's got the author, title, and a summary of what the book's about.

      Note: I didn't intend any moral/value judgement on any of the alternative translations.
      Stop feeling guilty, guys!
