ASML fabs in every basement when?
I think riskV is as close to an open source CPU we have at the moment, unfortuantly most riskV cpu's rely on the company having IP that is protected like the CPU layout or the core architecture as of what I understand of modern CPU design.
RISKV has been a great step forward and I'd love to see it succeed but I'm also aware of the lack of open source architecture for GPU's or AI accelerators.

There exist such chips already, and I expect they'll catch up with AArch64 chips (in terms of being able to run desktop Linux) in <10 years, given the specs already include SIMD and the high-end chips have clock rates comparable to the oldest Windows-on-ARM laptops, like the 1st-gen Surface.
