Here is me (still) hoping for arm64 to become mainstream just like x86_64.
t. I’m typing this on my orange pi 5 max. And the gap between this pc and a “typical” x86_64 one is almost nonexistant.
I’d really rather we skip over ARM and head straight for RISC V. ARM is a step in the right direction though.
Arm is an awful platform. Linux support across vendors is horrible, all GPU drivers are closed, bootloaders are locked, acpi is barely supported. Please no.
you’re listing things that will be fixed.
Sure in 10 years
great!
I’d much rather see RISC-V take over.
It’s gonna happen I think.
Desktop ARM is great but it’s still locked behind like 2 vendors (Snapdragon and Apple) and has hardware more locked down than x86.
x86 is, well, x86.
RISC-V might be slower right now but China’s mega investment is going to force others to rush into the ISA to try and beat them to market. Give it 5 years and we’re gonna see a totally different landscape to now.
What processor are you considering a typical x86_64, and also what is your use case?
“Typical” implies “standard”, so a low to mid end rig. Which also means (presumably) a "standard’ use case i.e what any “typical” user does – search for something on the internet, see funny videos and post on online communities such as facebook or similars. And before you say “define a typical user” – a user that has a very basic understanding on how to interact with a computer and use it properly. So… even “your mom” fits this criteria.
I was asking about you, because you made the comparison.
I don’t make up stuff, but rely on facts and logic instead. :^)
Oof guy if you ever have to use the phrase “I…rely on facts and logic” with a passive aggressive smilie on the end you’ve already lost. I don’t even think there was an argument, but you still lost.
I didn’t think you made stuff up. I thought you were making an interesting point at first (why I asked for more detail), but then you rambled on vaguely and didn’t answer my question at all.
I’ll go look into ARM somewhere else.
Translation for those not completely up to speed with the stakes of all this?
