According to the RISC-V Foundation, from a technical standpoint, the architecture should be able to compete with Intel, AMD, and ARM. The foundation says they see no reason why a RISC-V implementation should be any slower than x86 or ARM, and that "the ISA design should enable implementations to be somewhat more efficient than either." As for power consumption, the foundation says that depending "on the quality of the implementation," power efficiency should be able to more than match ARM's low energy use.

"In one point of comparison, the RISC-V Rocket core is twice as energy efficient as the most similar ARM implementation, the Cortex-A5," the foundation said in a Q&A.
