Re: Problem?
Particularly when LoongSon 3 appears to deliver significantly more performance than RISC-V at present.
While I don't believe MIPS64 can catch x86 in the near future, MIPS64 is a well understood architecture with significant room to grow performance via die shrinks and the ability to scale to match low-end x86 chips using desktop level power requirements. RISC-V may beat it for performance per watt, but this is about peak performance not just efficiency as much of the efficiency disappears as you increase cache/pipeline lengths/parallelism to obtain higher frequencies.
