RISC-V already exists so why not build on that?

Who follow American export rules

I'm convinced that all the "China is tracking you!!" is a giant deflection for how much the US is tracking.

They have always been the worst offender, and Snowden was only a warning for something that has been going on for many years.

less of a concern than having palantir, us back surveillance built into western ones.

Yes. We even have critical companies in the supply chain of chip manufacturing based in Europe, so it's definitely possible. It doesn't even need to be as high performing as the big ones. I'd buy it anyway.

I have managers at my work having meetings on how they are going to rollout win11 and intune. They want to tell the technical people how it's going to work.

nah it's not that simple. it's mostly about cost. chip manufacturing is hella expensive and developing new chip manufacturing techniques is even more expensive. it's cheaper to do it all in one place in taiwan instead of every country opening its own chip manufacturers. it's only now due to security considerations that this is changing, but it takes 10 years to build a chip manufacturing site somewhere.

I don't think you understand just how difficult that would be. The reason Taiwan has become such a hotly contested area between China and literally the rest of the world is because they have built up the infrastructure to produce processors and memory. Which includes huge clean rooms to prevent contamination by the air we've so completely polluted since the beginning of the industrial revolution.

Modern CPU and GPUs are the pinnacle of human creation. Each step, from design to build is resting on the foundation of decades of learnings and millions of hours of highly trained and educated individuals. All of this knowledge and talent is guarded. I don't think you fathom the scale of which you discuss. At best we can play around as aggregated hobbiest and make perhaps a 1980s tech CPU.

Anyone who wouldn't go with China over Amerisrael a million times over is simply a victim of unbelievable volume of propaganda.

The US is by far the single worst, most oppressive country on the planet and it isn't even close.
