This video felt nothing more than a commercial company taking advantage of the "open-source hardware" and "RISC-V" flags to promote their proprietary IP solution.
- microcolonel 8y agoThat's the whole point, they are not being misleading about that, that is the plain, public message they are conveying. They're building chips on an ISA that competitors and partners can implement and extend, which is valuable because it keeps them honest (so they can't just abuse the customers for decades, knowing that competition with them is illegal).
- sweden 8y agoThe point of my comment was that this is not HN worthy. There is no actual content besides pure advertisement.
- microcolonel 8y agoThere are lots of Talos/Raptor product announcements and similar here. Sometimes product announcements are also news, because they tell you something about the market in general, rather than just the company making the announcement. The first thing Dave Ditzel says in this interview is that he believes RISC-V in general has general potential, before anything specific to his product. His next sentence after mentioning his own product is again to say that they will be one of "the many companies building new chips for this RISC-V ecosystem".
