From 2017, it predates RISC-V first ratified spec.

Currently, RISC-V holds the crown of code density in both 64 and 32 bit.

On 32bit, thumb2 is a little behind. On 64bit, x86-64 is not even close, and ARMv8/v9 are even worse.

You've shown absolutely zero evidence.

I am sure you are capable of running a compiler and/or running `size` on Ubuntu binaries.
