The author compares RISC-V RVA23 and ARMv9 ISAs through a small experiment measuring dynamic instruction count and code density, using chibicc compiling itself as the benchmark workload.
Background
RISC-V and ARM are the two dominant open and proprietary ISA architectures competing in embedded and server markets. Instruction set architecture comparisons like this help developers choose between platforms.
