Digging into RISC-V and how I learn new things

For example, Intel and AMD have processors that both implement the same x86 instruction set but have very different internal designs. For one, the authors state the importance of the fact that RISC-V is a completely free and open instruction set architecture. Props to Sun Microsystems for the fact that SPARC V8 is an open standard, but the design decisions are highly reflective of the other instruction sets from that time, leaving it unsuitable as a modern instruction set.
