    Yes, but the software has to be compiled for your architecture, or you have to emulate it. That’s fine for new games that want to market in China, but emulating every other game is going to get old really fast. Hell, I have an x86 Chromebook that I’m strongly considering dual booting Linux.

      I’m saying that I’m fine just having x86 console like the Steam Deck for playing games. I’m not intending to play games on my computer at all.

        Unless y’all are gaming on data centers, this will likely not affect y’all personally for a while.

        HPC = High performance computing, so this will likely affect cloud servers long before ending up in consumer grade hardware

          I would imagine that we’ll see Huawei and other Chinese companies use RISCV in their consumer devices before long. Apple already proved that RISC architecture works very well for this stuff, and RISCV is the obvious open alternative to ARM that Chinese companies can leverage.
