Will RISC-V become forbidden technology in near future?

JWx
JWx over 1 year ago

According to Reuters:

https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-china-tech-war-risc-v-chip-technology-emerges-new-battleground-2023-10-06/

some American senators are pressuring the government to restrict the possibility of American companies to develop RISC V technology: "The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) is abusing RISC-V to get around U.S. dominance of the intellectual property needed to design chips. U.S. persons should not be supporting a PRC tech transfer strategy that serves to degrade U.S. export control laws," "Communist China is developing open-source chip architecture to dodge our sanctions and grow its chip industry," Rubio said in a statement to Reuters. "If we don't broaden our export controls to include this threat, China will one day surpass us as the global leader in chip design.".

Do you think that it is possible that in near future RISC V will be Chinese only architecture, frowned upon by European and American manufacturers? And if it will succeed in RISC V case, will other open-source projects be restricted as immune to possible sanctions and thus dangerous to national security?

    It would be pretty ironic if the US prevented US businesses from reaping the benefits of this technology that was actually developed in the US. It seems like a good formula to cause the US to fall behind…

    If their problem is losing monopoly over global chip supply, surely they too can start creating chips with RISC architecture. I am pretty sure the companies will save millions when switching over from…

    Apple and google don't need RISC-V, if they want to develop their own ISA they very well could.

    These RISC issues come and go.

    I have seen a number of RISC implementations over the last forty years or so, they have all been championed by someone, but usually disappear over time.

    You need a whole lot more than a hardware design to make these things happen.

    It took NVIDIA a lot of years to create an environment where others could take their hardware and turn it into something useful.
