Alibaba promises server-class RISC-V processor in 2024

  RISC is good

  No RISC no fun

  More architectures are feasible with the way modern open-source makes software available. Breaking up the hegemony of x86 in the data center is a good thing.

  Sanctions incoming...
  • brucehoult 3y ago
    ? Sanctions can prevent US tech from being exported to China. They can't do a thing about home-grown tech.
    • jimmydoe 3y ago
      Sanction may not be the right term but I'm there's a way to punish them for being Chinese and possibly being sold to Iran, Russian or Palestine at some point...
    • cherryteastain 3y ago
      Not quite. US can e.g. sanction Alibaba such that TSMC/Samsung is not allowed to fab Alibaba's chips.

  >Details of the chip were not discussed Except for the performance (15 SPECint2k6/GHz) and the extensions (RVA24, bold claim btw). See: https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/687667375 https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/687667375
