Itβs an exciting (but also scary!) time.
For hobbyists, itβs really interesting to get such a high level of performance out of an openISA.
From the geopolitical perspective, further development in this area will severely limit the effect of future US/UK export bans.
Once compiler toolchains and standards hit critical mass, China RISCV is going to be unstoppable.
Policing an openISA is nearly impossible; reducing x86 / Arm dominance eliminates the single points of failure that could otherwise be controlled via sanctions.
What do you think? Are you worried about the momentum?
