It still seems RISC-V and RISC-like CPUs are making a lot of progress, though. I still find 3A6000 to be quite impressive compared to a few years ago, and I expect exponential gains to be made in performance soon.
Take my words with a grain of salt as I do not have a lot of experience with low-level software and hardware, but from my understanding, traditional software will run poorly on these new architectures as they are designed to run on CISC instruction sets, and a new ecosystem of software needs to be developed to work with the new instruction sets. I am assuming the binary translations required to run current software is what hurts the performance of these machines, and a lot of performance could be squeezed out if software was built according to 3A6000's architecture from the ground up.
A lot can be done with 2-3 GHz, and I find this to be an impressive speed considering the current stage of reduced instruction set architectures. Having the performance of an HP EliteDesk/ProDesk Mini and a similar efficient power usage is a great milestone achieved, imo.
If a RISC-like computer can do this, I'm happy: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=amVP96OYfUg
