Interesting (if a bit sweary) critique of #RISCV . Quoting from the very end of it:
"Before you get your megaphone to shout about "openness", please note that the openness of the RISC-V spec is not relevant here at all, because an open spec does not magically materialize a well-designed out-of-order core for you for free. And if someone were to design a good out-of-order core, they would not be giving it away for free."
