'The Linux of processors' — New breed of Chinese super CPUs emerge on US soil as universities back open source high performance RISC-V processors to be the next big thing in HPC

I REALLY hope something comes of this. But at the same time, I'm not sure if I would buy one myself. Compatibility with x86 is massively important to me, and I can't really divorce myself of it outside of portables. I just have too much investment in legacy software. Mostly video games to be fair. Which might be part of the reason for the push to RISC-V.
