There are some near ready foundries in the US and in EU, not to mention South Korea. It would take a few years to catch up of course.

What I worry more about is the full lock-in of TSMC production capacity by nvidia/apple/amd/etc for their chips on their latest and greatest silicon process (aka the best in the world). There is 'no space' for performant large RISC-V implementations or other alternative (and it will require several iterations and mistakes will be made)

Interesting point, although it's clearly not in TSMC's interest to land themselves in a monopsony situation by allowing Apple (e.g.) to squeeze all their competitors out of the market.

Tenstorrent managed to secure TSMC manufacturing capacity, I doubt many other RISC-centric fabless companies would have any issues aside from aggressive competition.

		I wonder when we will see RISC-V (rva23+) large implementations, for instance for performance "desktop" at 5GHz+ on latest silicon process... I know I can already replace my rpi3 with a linux supported out of the box RISC-V SOC board (aka, the enabling of assembly written software = no planned obsolescence from computer languages anymore, near 0-SDK).

Im the EU there is Intel Ireland at least.
