The story stretches the rapid adoption of RISC-V to a "revolution." A non-proprietary ISA doesn't automatically lead to ML accelerators or signal processors or 10 billion transistor 5 nm ULSI devices.
RISC-V is great; a universal commodity ISA is welcome and will remove some impediments. But RISC-V isn't going to reduce the IC business to simple integration and fab. Specialized devices are already indispensable and will only become more critical as the general purpose CPU performance curve continues to flatten.
