Alibaba’s research arm promises server-class RISC-V processor due this year
I don’t think they’re doing this for oss reasons
I don’t think they’re even required to publish the design, they could keep it proprietary
They’re not. They’re doing it because they fear being SOL if America/the West enforces more sanctions on things like ARM chips/designs or Intel, etc.
And yes, IIRC RISC-V is MIT licensed or something close. Basically companies can take it and implement whatever on top and not have to contribute back.
