“some workloads saw improvements, overall system performance slightly declined, and binary sizes increased.” So -O3 isn’t paying off in the Ubuntu packaging world for now and will be reverted soon.
Great! I would like to use -O0 or -O1 on my distro…
Here is me (still) hoping for arm64 to become mainstream just like x86_64.
t. I’m typing this on my orange pi 5 max. And the gap between this pc and a “typical” x86_64 one is almost nonexistant.
I’d really rather we skip over ARM and head straight for RISC V. ARM is a step in the right direction though.
I’d much rather see RISC-V take over.
It’s gonna happen I think.
Desktop ARM is great but it’s still locked behind like 2 vendors (Snapdragon and Apple) and has hardware more locked down than x86.
x86 is, well, x86.
RISC-V might be slower right now but China’s mega investment is going to force others to rush into the ISA to try and beat them to market. Give it 5 years and we’re gonna see a totally different landscape to now.
