Of course there would. The RISC-V type of architecture is used in numerous processor designs. But they all have slightly different instruction sets. The key thing is standards.
>There is nothing more obnoxious than a non-American who hates America, but wants to imitate it, fails at it, and then resents us for their own failure. And that in spite of America's numerous and major defects.
I am an American and I'm very familiar with the "Love it or Leave it" mindset, a mindset that's now reduced to a rather pathetic "MAGA" (or "Save America" which we're due to be bombarded with 'real soon'). America -- and Americans -- need a bit of 'tough love', not mindless patriotism. We screwed up by putting profits above all, exploiting cheap labor around the world and neglecting our own people, adopting the attitude that we don't need to compete because We're Number One. Unfortunately, the rest of the world begs to differ and in China we've finally come up against an economy that can look us eye to eye as equals. It hurts but throwing tantrums isn't going to fix things, its just going to make matters worse.
