We do expect embedded systems to be the main use of RISC-V processors at the outset. In fact, I believe there is a consumer product out now - some kind of camera - which uses a RISC-V processor.
I don't think we'll be able to compete with Intel's x86 chips for a while. Mostly because Intel's silicon processes are more advanced than those offered by other foundries.
