Isn't the whole point of RISC that its more power efficient?

[–] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

In theory it should be able to be more power efficient. In practice, less development has been put into RISC-V CPU designs so they are still less power efficient than Arm (and maybe x86 even)

Arm are RISC processors, I'm lead to believe x86-64 might even be something similar under the microcode.
