Discuss RISC-V. When the fuck are we getting RISC-V workstations?

>we put in no overflow flags because dude weed speed lmao and nobody checks for overflow bugs anyway lole
RISC-V can fuck off and die for that alone. It's like they actively tried to find more ways to get retarded programmers to justify dumb shit that causes security issues. I can already hear some self-styled expert programmer C fanboy spout shit like

Is there any reason besides freetardation which is mostly marketing in this case to care about RISC-V? To me it looks like a corporate ploy to lower spending on ARM licensing fees.

Workstation? Quite a ways but there are enough small to medium endavours to bring non x86 consumer machines to live so they could go for either a small form factor ala rpi or an armbook.

If you want something more free now just go with a talos machine.

So how powerful are the affordable Risc-V products?
Good enough that a autist with a optimization fetish could get the equivalent of a Altair 8800 running on it?

Literally better than processors manufactured in the USA or Israel, yes I'm talking about Intel.
Performance, not paying millions of dollars for a license.
Mostly is a good word here, because although Risc-V made it cheap to make proprietary botnet processors, it also made it possible for independent developers to make processors, for example this one:

It is hard to develop a libre core with Risc-V, because you can't communicate at all with Risc-V developers about things that are not yet official Risc-V specification, but it's doable.
Is there anything bad about not paying money to big corporations exploiting everyone by making botnet?

Forgot to add a link to your post.

The "doing less work than required and making everybody else pick up the slack" school of performance as I outlined with the overflow checks is something I can honestly do without at the hardware level, it's bad enough in software. Is there some other performance point?
That's nothing RISC-V-specific, MIPS's stuff expired years ago.
No, but it also doesn't mean I should pay money to whatever first thing that gets shilled as an alternative.

It's not like you're doing anything highly performant with your machine anyways.

It's a super expensive Arduino at this point. You're better off running RISCV on emulator under qemu.
