I have very mixed feelings about RISC-V since the non-profit organization moved their headquarters to Switzerland after taking a bunch of US tax dollars and grants to develop it at UC Berkeley.
It’s an open source platform: if an american company makes and arm device, they need to pay tax to a British company. RiscV require not to pay IP tax to any foreign country.
Also, it’s not like “they move”: stuck there in the US, they would simply shut it down. So I don’t see how your tax money went in better use.

i like what risc-v is supposed to do but it is still some ways out though.

With how things are going in the US right now. I’m not mad about people moving certain groups out of the country. I’m sad, but not mad.
Note: I know the reason they moved to Switzerland is unrelated.
You clearly haven’t been to the us in a very long time
