The ISA was published 11 years ago and many companies have been shipping hardware for years now; you can even get a RISC-V mainboard for a Framework laptop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC-V#End-user_hardware

Unfortunately the performance is more comparable to a raspberry pi than a modern x86 PC; the faster ones are still coming soon.

You can follow RISC-V developments here on lemmy at !riscv@lemmy.ml btw

I would like to add that "faster ones" did exist but were really really limited edition. And also full of backdoors making them not feasible to host a pubnix on. Was reading 9front IRC logs out of boredom once and someone mentioned a maintainer being given a server of sorts then someone replied "ah yes, Plan 9 on unobtanium v".
