2024 might be the breakout year for efficient ARM chips in desktop and laptop PCs.

Ah, thanks. Obviously I didn’t keep up with developments as well as I thought. I knew that Apple Silicon is Arm-based, but I didn’t realize that Arm is RISC.
Yeah, ARM originally stood for Advanced RISC Machines. And the company grew out of Acorn Computers, a British company that made some excellent computers in the 1980s, including the BBC Microcomputer.
There’s an interesting article about the thoughts of one of the Raspberry Pi founders on RISC-V here https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/what-eben-upton-said-about-risc-v
I’m guessing we won’t see a RISC-V version any time soon.
