@pelefant @geerlingguy risc-v is few years old, right?

And cores are compared to Arm Cortex-A55. The lowest sensible one.

Not even years old Cortex-A76. Nor Neoverse-N1.

You want to fight Arm? Be on par with Neoverse-N2. With SVE, virtualization, working EL(1-3).

And boot Linux and BSD out of the box.

Without it you are only weak pretender.
