Framework making a RISC-V mainboard is neat, but
- RISC comes with a ton of downsides
- x86 machines use micro-ops on the backend anyway, so after decode there's not really any difference between RISC and CISC.
If you could cut down the legacy bullshit of x86, it'd be a better, more efficient architecture than ARM or RISC, and a ton of that has to do with code size.
