My guess is: it’s more efficient to convert boiling water movement to electricity than to convert photons emission to electricity.
If it can help you, Phoronix made some benchmarks last year to compare a RISC-V motherboard to Raspberry Pi : https://www.phoronix.com/review/sifive-hifive-premier-p550.
I think 2027/2028 would be too soon to expect a good RISC-V “daily driver” (in terms of performance and support) because it takes time for an architecture to evolve but I hope I’m wrong.
