Anonymous, 05 Jan 2023Hello... Mac OS based on Linux?? How dumb can you be?? 🤦🏻♂... moreMacos is not based on Unix. It's a certified Unix. They can remove that Unix compatibility part anytime and it will be still Macos.

We are already in the process of using custom accelerators for specific tasks like DSP, ISP, AI etc. So bringing some standards in that as well will enable interoperability among the CPU architectures.

Anonymous, 04 Jan 2023Perfomance will be impaired till apps will have native support.
It's more likely that RISCV will get 100% software support in China, which alone is absolutely huge Market.
So naturally there wil be momentum to offer App support for Chinese market by non Chinese developers.

The problems with Qualcomm and Nuvia are making clear the limits of the licensing agreements, Apple is covered because have one of the few perpetual Arquitectural Licences, but the rest? Qualcomm, Google, Samsung, everyone depend on how ARM can in the future change licénciame agreements, with little saying,
RISCV is the clear alternative, even as Intel is “opening x86 more” companies are clear about the need of a neutral ISA provider

Android is handled by Google. There's AOSP but hardly anyone uses that (good luck finding drivers and support for it)
MacOS is developed by Apple.

Computers are more complex in the future and what kind of instructors is not that important Intel amd already used risc in the cpu Nvidia have cuda , Europe is developing HPC and the main part is riscv for Linux is not a problem, compilers is the one who have to deal with this complexities, oneAPI is open source and dealing this

X86, then X86-64 got bloated, moved on to ARM, which is also getting bloated fast - quick, onto RISC-V for the next round. We're stuck repeating the same pattern over and over, apparently.
The "benefit" that RISC-V is lean and mean will only last so long until every manufacturer adds to it to make it viable for general computing (aka bloat).

Just look how all run ARM now and Android is fragmented as hell all over the place with Google have next to no control over it despite being the core maintainer.
