we don't want ARM, we want RISC-V, coze worldwide royalty free.

Are the royalties really such a huge part of a laptop's price? Because other than that, RISC-V's open nature is not really relevant to us consumers, even us techies. It's not like we're going to bake our own SoCs. And the ARM ABI is open as well.

It also has a big head start on efficiency. So for now I think I'd much rather have ARM.

I've seen numbers of 1-3% of the chip price quoted as ARM licensing fees (and presumably the really large customers have their own deals). AFAIK the higher-end RISC-V designs cost similar amounts if you license them.
