It seems risc-v relies on a patent pool dominated by us companies. So the us can arbitrarily extrajudicially stomp on chinese chip manufacturer as they did with Huawei
- rwmj 6y agoCan you point to a "RISC-V patent pool"? I've never heard of such a thing. The ISA was shown to be patent free. Microarchitectures have heavily patented features, but microarchitectures are generally independent of the ISA, so changing ISA doesn't help.
- zibzab 6y ago> The ISA was shown to be patent free. Please stop repeating this. First of all, before winning a few court cases we can't really be sure. Also, probably well above 99% of patents in this area are not about the ISA but various implementation and optimization details. As fun as riscv is, the patent free statement is (at this point) just marketing talk by Berkley.
