    yeah in the past they were attrocious, now they have hired devs working on mesa, so a drastic change for them. a literal turnaround story

    They developed an in-order core with a dual-issue, 11 stage pipeline. That is a pretty common design for the current RISC-V market and nothing I would call advanced technology, SiFive U74 looks similar from a quick look, with a shorter 8 stage pipeline.

    You are totally correct there, but anyone dropping out of the cpu side is also not great as its a really small ecosystem.

    Imagination Technology in the UK has shut down its development of RISC-V processor cores to focus on its GPU and AI products.
