Huawei would be in a better long-term position if they chose RISC-V versus IP theft.
- Alupis 6y agoMaybe... RISC-V might be up-and-coming, but current-day ARM designs are battle tested already and will continue to be very useful for the foreseeable future. Stealing the IP now allows them to produce great CPU's today with far less cost. It's not trivial to build a CPU. Particularly if there is no existing industry with expertise in this field within your country.
