Isn't the whole point of RISC that its more power efficient?
In theory it should be able to be more power efficient. In practice, less development has been put into RISC-V CPU designs so they are still less power efficient than Arm (and maybe x86 even)
Arm are RISC processors, I'm lead to believe x86-64 might even be something similar under the microcode.
Yea I edited to say RISC-V specifically, thx
