Other than battery optimizations pretty much all of the issues don't exist on something like a Raspberry Pi which is RISC architecture (Broadcom chips). Sounds like Qualcomm just doesn't have their shit together.

I think they mean RISC-V, not RISC in general.

Maybe that's what they though but it's not what they said.
