Newegg must really be desperate to get rid of those graphics cards now that GPU mining is useless.

    We’d be best converting those old instruction sets to riscv in software in most cases if you ask me. Which is probably what your fancy processor is practically already doing internally.

    And I’m someone who is tended to at least be compelled to understand assembly if not write it. I’m happy to work with riscv instead.

      RISC-V is based and the future. Can’t wait until the day all that CISC crap finally becomes obsolete. One day I really want to build myself a decent RISC-V based workstation that uses little wattage and doesn’t turn into a literal space heater whenever I run computationally intense programs, unlike the x86 monster I have currently on my desk. I actually already have a really decent spare ATX case with PSU around that I’m keeping for this purpose. All I’m waiting for is for a decent and affordable board to come up.

          that’d still be very expensive and useless for a workstation since you couldn’t even pool the RAM
