RISC-V is in danger of imploding from its near-infinite flexibility.

It is driven largely by academics who lack a pragmatic drive in areas of time-to-market, and it is being explored by companies for profit motives only. NXP, NVIDIA, Western Digital see it as a way to cut costs due to Arm license fees.

RISC-V smells like Transmeta. I lived through that hype machine.

Transmeta as in a company that was strong armed by Intel in a court case Transmeta could have won if they hadn't run out of cash and time (and they ran out of those things because of that court case)?

Transmeta was never a viable solution: it was a pet project billed as a disrupter on the basis of it being a dynamic architecture. Do I need to explain the mountain of issues with their primary objectives or do you want to google that?
