I get the impression that LoongArch has more priority because they fully own that ISA which means foreign entities such as the US Empire can have 0 impact on it. If something happens to RISC-V that could put China at a disadvantage they still have LoongArch. If they go all in on RISC-V they could easily get fucked or bullied into submission, that’s my view anyways.
There’s no danger in using RISC-V – if the official standard is compromised somehow, China can just make their own “fork”. I think it’s more likely just a business decision by Loongson. Unless it’s replaced, it’ll likely become an open standard eventually
Good point, I didn’t think of that! Either way, I’m quite happy to see more general purpose RISCs emerge. At this point I’m just really sick of dealing with Intel’s CISC crap lol.
There are chinese companies making RISC-V chips and machines: https://milkv.io/pioneer
