Damn, that comes with some pretty incredible implications about domestically made chips
Huawei already makes Linux phones using ARM chips so the groundwork is already laid.
For sure, I very much expect a lot of RISCV based designs on the market in the near future. This also opens up possibility for doing SoC style architecture like Apple M series. Moving away from the legacy x86 design creates a lot of possibilities for performance and power usage improvements.
NASA recently standardized on RISC-V for future space-based computers.. The idea is to have a standardized CPU that’s radiation-hardened, has a minimal power draw when inactive, but has the computing power necessary to handle high-performance operations with reliability at critical times (course corrections, landing sequences, command-and-control of sensors when doing rapid flybys, etc). And they want to be able to use multiple CPU vendors without having to make hardware or software redesigns of their own.
