RISC-V is making moves, but how will it hit the mainstream?

RISC-V is gaining traction in niche markets like IoT and embedded systems, but it struggles to compete directly with established architectures such as Arm and x86.

Nvidia plans to ship a billion RISC-V cores by the end of 2024, integrating it into GPUs and SoCs, indicating growing adoption despite its current niche status.

Despite removing support from the Android Common Kernel, Google reassured that Android will continue to support RISC-V and intends to enhance this in the future.

RISC-V is gradually finding its space in everyday devices through partnerships with companies like Qualcomm, but its potential remains unfulfilled in headline markets.
