The ESP32 series have already switched to RISC-V for most models and many other microcontrollers has too. There's not a lot in the laptop/desktop territory but with enough incentives it's gonna happen

Oh ya, the C3 and I think the C5. Not sure what the current versions are but if they're in esp32's then I guess that's pretty main stream, just nowhere near a computer processor just yet.

Are the RISC-V ESP32's cheaper than that ARM ones?

Maybe if we all buy RISC-V microprocessors then somebody somewhere will see a little blip in market demand and have the genius idea of producing more full 64-bit RISC-V chips
