> which means the touted openness advantage could easily be lost RISC-V openness has nothing to do with processor implementation, it's solely in the instruction set. The advantage it has is that it provides compatibility across vendors and anyone can become a vendor of RISC-V IP. Comercial IP doesn't affect that, and if anything makes multiple IP vendors more likely. The availability of server processors depends on the market rather than any technical limitation. If someone decides to take the risk of investing in the development of a strong server product then we'll get it. It depends on some company believing there is a market for it.
