> Why do these kinds of articles essentially refuse to admit RISC-V exists?

Because as much as I like RISC-V myself, it hasn't built up the scale needed to supplant x86/64 or ARM. It's still a long way to go before the following are achieved:

- Similar/better performance to x86/64 or ARM, with at least 80% of their performance

- Similar/lower prices compared against x86/64 or ARM

- A win in either price-to-performance or power-to-performance against x86/64 or ARM at some point.

Veyron releases later this year. Ascalon next year.

It's going to get exciting.
