Ngl I have no clue why this technology is so newsworthy rn

It's because of openness/royalties.
RISC-V is an open standard instruction set architecture based on RISC principles. RISC itself is just a design type. ARM is based on RISC too, but it's proprietary.

ARM even means "Advanced RISC Machines". They changed the official name to ARM but I don't think they actually reinterpreted it.
