“some workloads saw improvements, overall system performance slightly declined, and binary sizes increased.” So -O3 isn’t paying off in the Ubuntu packaging world for now and will be reverted soon.

    Here is me (still) hoping for arm64 to become mainstream just like x86_64.

    t. I’m typing this on my orange pi 5 max. And the gap between this pc and a “typical” x86_64 one is almost nonexistant.

      Arm is an awful platform. Linux support across vendors is horrible, all GPU drivers are closed, bootloaders are locked, acpi is barely supported. Please no.

        It’s gonna happen I think.

        Desktop ARM is great but it’s still locked behind like 2 vendors (Snapdragon and Apple) and has hardware more locked down than x86.

        x86 is, well, x86.

        RISC-V might be slower right now but China’s mega investment is going to force others to rush into the ISA to try and beat them to market. Give it 5 years and we’re gonna see a totally different landscape to now.
