What's most likely to happen is that US could pass laws that prevent their companies from actively participating in RISC-V development.
What you've said is a real possibility. Let's not forget that Intel and ARM would benefit from the elimination of RISC-V. And they could be the lobbying force behind this as well.
Exactly, I'm sure the incumbents in US would be very happy about this type of policy.
Fuck, man. I hate capitalism
The US is bizarre. It has legal bribery.
it would be shooting the US in the foot.. there is a large push to move to risc-v for govt national security reasons out of the realization that China now has all the necessary info on ARM to be able to produce them from scratch with modifications that may be undetectable because they've pieced together the proprietary info over the decades they've been manufacturing the chips for the West
i was told all of this by some guys i work with who used to work for TLAs and Google and whatnot
The whole premise of trying to cut China out is based on the flawed idea that US has some technological edge. All of these policies are going to hurt US in the long run.
