       | I think RISC-V has potential for servers if it can match the
       | performance of x86 and power of ARM. Perhaps we'll see some
       | trickle-down from HPC.

       | For custom SoCs, RISC-V seems like it might be more appealing
       | than paying for an ARM IP core.
       | 
       | For researchers, students, and hobbyists, RISC-V is great,
       | because it's free and open source and can run on an FPGA.
