Only if you're coming to open source with the mindset of a taker rather than a giver. Nevertheless there are open source implementations of x86 architecture. I've written one. Bochs and QEmu have written another. If you feel that it must be implemented in hardware to count then a director at oracle actually wrote a verilog implementation of 80186 a few years ago.
- klelatti 5y agoEmulators != Open source core If you want to go back to 1982 then fine. I'll keep running on my Arm and RISC-V cores thanks. I do find the enthusiasm for the utterly closed oligopoly of x86 (with all the dubious ME stuff), with literally no modern open source hardware implementation, odd when you could be getting behind RISC-V.
