if you think, that the variable length of x86 instructions make them run slowly or need more power, then you shouldn't even start that discussion - that shows you really have no idea of that, just read some wikipedia or what. learn how instructions are fetched and compare how many instructions per clock x86 executes and how many of them execute its competitors. hint - instruction length and intsructions per clock speed of execution are not related. and fyi x86 code is more dense than RISC code, its instructions variable length even speeds things up, because more instructions are in the I-cache. and they aren't fetched byte per clock, oh it's ridiculous.
I am open, i just wondered what exactly cool features of RISC-V made you its fan, even before its real appearance. and you talked about everything, even mentioned Ballmer, but you didn't say a thing about those features. which pretty much shows it all.
