I don’t really know much about this at all, but doesn’t that statistic seem pretty highly dependent on the overall proliferation of computing devices worldwide? Seems unfair to compare to something that “completed” the milestone in 2008.
Honestly I wish that I new more about building CPU archetechture design so I could be more involved in this. I was honestly starting to believe that open source hardware at the microchip level...
Honestly I wish that I new more about building CPU archetechture design so I could be more involved in this. I was honestly starting to believe that open source hardware at the microchip level would never happen.
I have no ambitions in the area, but I feel the same. Don't have 500+$ to blow on SiFive so I just bought ESP32-C3[0]. It has single RISC V 32-bit core and costs so little that I wouldn't mind if...

The moderator of reddit RISC-V community claimed it's possible for a software dev to learn CPU design, so if your really motivated or looking for a new hobby learning it might be feasible.

I think it helps to give a feeling to how it's progressing, don't overthink it.
