It makes me wonder if this is a reaction to risc-v gaining (small) ground as a viable instruction set ecosystem

[–] Rekall_Incorporated@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

I am assuming this would be a driver for risc-v adoption.

That being said, from a consumer perspective, all risc-v offerings (SBCs, laptops) are far worse than ARM in every possible metric; performance, price, software support. Performance in particular seems to be atrocious even on a non-dollar weighted basis (one would expect less economies of scale with risc-v products).
