Other than battery optimizations pretty much all of the issues don’t exist on something like a Raspberry Pi which is RISC architecture (Broadcom chips). Sounds like Qualcomm just doesn’t have their shit together.
As someone who owns several RISC-V devices the primary thing preventing usable (low end) RISC-V laptops is the GPUs. Most RISC-V silicon has Imagination GPUs, and the current state of the drivers there is “proprietary drivers stuck on an old LTS kernel.”
If someone makes an RVA23 compliant chip with open mainstreamable drivers and a BXS-4-64 GPU (or, better yet, somehow manages to license a GPU from Intel or AMD for it), that’ll be a cash cow.

ARM = Acorn Risc Machine
I think they mean RISC-V, not RISC in general.
Maybe that’s what they though but it’s not what they said.
Mainly a question of money.
isnt it inferior to qualcomm, the china doesnt exactly have access to the latest tech

And should make a chip. Risc V with their GPU.
