I've seen benchmarks that go both ways in terms of a "winner" but in terms of overall variance there seems to be very little. There are some cases where ARM64 or RISCV do better and there are some cases where x86_64 does better. I can't see code density being a relevant factor when picking one ISA over another.
We've got good compilers now anyways.. outside of power consumption.. the ISA wars are dead.

Awful compared to what?
