I don't think I will ever purchase an x86 processor anymore. Everything in my home is ARM powered. If Framework switches to ARM I will strongly consider them.

Why not RISC-V?

While I'm bullish on RISC-V (both personally and professionally since before RISC-V was even public), there are currently no chips on the market that comes even close to high-end Arms, and most specifically none for mobile devices. So that's why.

This will certainly change, but I suspect laptops will be last, with datacenter (ML esp.) and ultra-mobile (ie. low-end cellphones) arriving first.

The future is RISC-V not ARM. The former will be everywhere, the latter only in Apple devices.

ARM is probably the architecture in the majority of devices currently if you account for android phones and iphones.

So ARM is the present.

True. RISC-V is out of my radar, what I'd really prefer is any linux laptop that's got >10h battery life and low heat output. Probably that's something that both ARM and RISC-V have in common?
