The specs look like my multimedia Athlon XP PC from 2002, talk about embedded not being powerful enough.

There's not a lot of powerful RISC-V hardware out there but that's a bit beside the point.RISC-V is exciting because it's fully opensource.

From the high level, yes RISC-V is open, but as far as I can tell, When a chip is designed, nothing is preventing it from being closed like this SF21H8898

RISC-V is partially open source, vendors can do whatever they feel like with extensions.
