      Current RISC-V CPUs Being Too Slow Causes Headaches For Fedora: ~5x Slower Builds

      news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 9 hours ago

    The current crop of RISC-V SoCs are still much slower than alternative CPU architectures and lead to much longer build times for Fedora packages as a result. There's hope with next-gen RISC-V processors being faster but for now even compiling Binutils as an example is around five times slower than x86_64 -- and that's with disabling compiler link-time optimizations (LTO) for RISC-V to avoid an even longer build process...
