Is Huawei planning to ship Linux on its upcoming MateBook laptops instead of HarmonyOS NEXT? A fresh leak out of China this week suggests so. Huawei is no
RISC-V is just about at pi3 levels of performance so it’s not really that good for end user stuff yet. Alibaba launched a new core recently that might improve things though.
On their servers? possibly. RISC-V is competitive when you stuff a bunch of cores into it and make it do basic server tasks that haven’t gotten more complex over the years. And in AI, you may just need a cheap CPU to orchestrate your GPUs/NPUs so anything will work there.
I think we’ll see m1+ levels of desktop performance on RISCV within the next 4 years though. trump will do wonders for the Chinese semiconductor industry.
wonder if they use riscv chips
