"It is Chinese companies looking for ARM alternative"

The V in RISC-V represents iteration of the ISA, over the last 46 years, most of which occurred in the US, mainly at Berkeley.

They push it to save a couple nickels per core on the ARM licenses, not out of nationalistic fervor.

And it is the Chinese doing it because virtually 100% of all chips are made in China and Taiwan.

Your comment is appealing to fallacies such as it being old so it's good or that it was made by a prestigious university. It's not like those early iterations were commercially produced and they learned off of real world usage. For the people who criticize the ISA, saying that it is old will not change their mind.

		Maybe. People are free to partake in whatever cognitive misadventures they wish. I merely cite the incontrovertible fact that Berkeley RISC predates essentially all of the modern economic history of China, and also the rise of ARM. It came from academe, for better or worse, and for whatever purpose these academics had or or have, and that is all anyone can truthfully say about its pedigree. The rest is just bullshit from the internet.
