I haven't closely followed RISC-V but I think the deal is it's scalable. You can build low end and high end processor cores with it.

A PIC or ARV etc can really never be a high end machine. And something like a modern 0x86 would really never be low end either. A small aside legacy processor cores on modern CMOS can do fast bit twiddling while consuming trivial amounts of power and die area.
