Cortex A57 is 14 years old and is significantly faster than the 9 year old Cortex A55 these RISC-V cores are being compared against.

So yes it's many years behind. Many, many years.

SpacemiT K3 is on par with Rockchip RK3588. So, about 4 years behind ARM.

Tenstorrent Atlantis (first Ascalon silicon) should ship in Q2/Q3 and be twice as fast. About as fast as Ryzen5. So, about 5 years behind AMD.

But even the K3 has faster AI than Apple Silicon or Qualcomm X Elite.

Current trend-lines suggest ARM64 and RISC-V performance parity before 2030.
