What evidence do you have that RISC-V is being held back by fragmentation?

Every upcoming general purpose RISC-V core I'm aware of is targeting RVA23. That's even less fragmentation than x86 has.

Meanwhile, I don't know of ANY third-party chip designs using LoongArch, so asserting no fragmentation seems to be misrepresenting the situation a bit.

That's good news. Hopefully there will be more affordable replacements for x86 PCs.
