THIS YEAR, RISC-V LAPTOPS REALLY ARRIVE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Framework plans to release a laptop that can support a RISC-V mainboard in 2025. RISC-V is an open-source instruction set architecture (a set of valid instructions programs can execute on a processor) that provides a viable alternative to x86 and Arm. It is open source, making it easy to customize hardware. While current RISC-V chips perform well behind x86 and Arm-powered alternatives, performance will be much better in the coming year.
