News Nvidia to ship a billion of RISC-V cores in 2024

The sooner we throw ARM out and replace it with RISC-V, the better.

Deny them any financial stream via Royalties.
Why would you want less competition in the market? A lack of competition leads to stagnation imagine if Intel ruled x86 alone? You’d still be paying nvidia type prices for consumer level CPUs or rather old Intel type prices. One ring to rule them all, and in the “darkness” bind them.

RISC-V isn't alone, there are literally thousands upon thousands of developers within RISC-V.

And we have x86, OpenPOWER as competing ISA's.

The more the merrier , and ultimately it may force ARM to change their approach, it drives innovation … both cost wise as well as in terms of derived solutions. I don’t know about you the hegemony of cuda ISA dominating the AI and consequently arena didn’t personally good for my wallet. Despite arms licensing practices they’re push has driven key efficiency and innovation solutions by both Intel and AmD to address.

Is there anyway you can start using ROCm instead of CUDA?

Could people and companies, probably. Will they, almost certainly not. As expensive as Hopper and RTX cards are, they're still a lot cheaper than paying engineers to learn ROCm, translate all the old CUDA, debug it all again, and have made no progress on improving their software in the time they were doing that.

New projects may use AMD, maybe 10-20% will, but everything that is already CUDA will stay on Nvidia.

100% of the AC outlets in my house are NEMA. Plenty of companies compete for my $$$. I only buy devices that comply with the open standard. In your world a company that designs an alternative to NEMA should exist.

I am all for an alternative but I am not going to sign a contract with them that could cost me millions in legal fees and lost sales.

I love free markets and a free market should cast out a company that tries to force people to re-negotiate licenses because their biggest partner has a decent product.

People paid ARM for convenience of using a commonly used core. R&D cost to use RISC-V will be less then future legal fees with ARM.
