If the primary architecture on which you run #FreeBSD is not x86 or arm64, it is:

arm (32-bit) 19%

powerpc64 (BE or LE) 9.5%

riscv64 61.9%

still not listed (next poll) 9.5%

I guess that's 2 people that run #FreeBSD on an architecture not previously listed. So:

mips (32/64 bit BE/LE) 0%

sparc64 75%

powerpc (32-bit) 0%

Still not listed 25%

32-bit arm about the same, some growth in riscv64.

Compared to when I asked on Twitter in 2023 amd64 has grown 15% points, arm64 is about the same, and i386 has all but disappeared.
