I can’t wait for a non speculative execution, non spooked, not glowing cpu. I honestly don’t care how slow it would be, so long it can run Linux, firefox and VSCodium (or if forced, i’ll learn Neo Vim). I just hope RISC will make my dreams real.
I’m no expert here, but I’m pretty sure branch prediction logic is not part of the instruction set, so I don’t see how RISC alone would “fix” these types of issues.
I think you have to go back 20-30 years to get CPUs without branch prediction logic. And VSCodium is quite the resource hog (as is the modern web), so good luck with that.
