Server-class 46-core RISC-V CPU runs mainstream Linux - LinuxGizmos.com
Whilst I want to switch to ARM, the cool thing about RISC-V is that it is royalty free, so maybe the future one day.
This one is server grade

ARM and Linux have been a terrible combination because of SoCs using proprietary components from very linux-unfriendly companies. I sincerely hope riscv makes arm completely irrelevant.
Qualcomm at least seems to be stepping up their game with the elite series and finally getting stuff done.
But long term, would be good to have a royalty free platform succeed.
The situation with arm is at least a step forward though
Most cheap riscv boards I've dealt with haven't supported UEFI directly, so I wouldn't hold your breath.
Still hoping the server situation shakes things out a bit better
