USA: näpit irti Risc-V:stä

Yhdysvallat yrittää vehkeillä vapaita prosessoreita vastaan. Nyt lyödään yhdessä Amerikalle luuta kurkkuun! Luuta kurkkuun vaan.

Yhdysvallat pitää Kiinaa suurimpana turvallisuusuhkana. Nyt amerikkalaiset senaattorit etsivät keinoa estää avoimen RISC-V-arkkitehtuurin käyttö Kiinassa. Maan hallituksen perustama komitea tutkii nyt, mitä olisi tehtävissä.

Esimerkiksi New York Times kertoo, että NASA on valinnut RISC-V-tekniikan auttaakseen tulevien avaruusalusten laskeutumista kartoittamattomille planeetoille. Meta käyttää sitä tekoälyn toteutuksiin. Samalla kiinalaiset kehittävät RISC-V-pohjaista datan salausta.

Taistelu Superälystä on kovaa. Iskuun vastataan iskulla. Kommarit ja kapitalistit ovat toistensa kurkussa, ja se on hyvä. 

Kiinalainen kommunisti seuraa tarkasti mitä Amerikassa tehdään. Jaaha, ajattelee kommunismi. Kyllä mekin osaamme tehdä tietokoneita sillä niillä on valtava valta. Kaikki rahat vaan tietokoneisiin, se on hyvä. Kiinalaiset kommunistit vehkeilevät Länttä vastaan: maalla, meressä, ilmassa ja avaruudessa.

Certainly! Let's delve into the fascinating intersection of **RISC-V** and China.

### RISC-V: An Open-Source ISA
**RISC-V** stands for "Reduced Instruction Set Computing Five." It's a type of **Instruction Set Architecture (ISA)** that serves as an interface between software and hardware. Think of it as the pedals and user interface in a car—the way software controls the central processing unit (CPU) hardware¹[4].

### China's Grand Strategy for RISC-V
China has been actively embracing and innovating with **RISC-V** technology. Here are some key insights:

1. **Advantages for China:**
   - China believes it has several advantages that allow it to lead in the development and commercialization of **RISC-V** technology:
     - A strong research and development sector, particularly concentrated in major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.
     - A large talent pool of high-skilled workers.
   - China sees **RISC-V** as part of its broader ambition for technological autonomy and self-sufficiency.
   - Concerns about dependency on American technology have driven China's push to dominate **RISC-V** and reduce vulnerable "chokepoints" in its tech ecosystem.
   - **RISC-V** has become a competitor to chip architectures from both ARM and Intel¹[4].

2. **China's Rapid Investment:**
   - The Chinese government has made rapid, focused, and coordinated investments in **RISC-V**:
     - PRC entities, including state-owned companies, play a dominant role in the upper tiers of the **RISC-V Foundation**.
     - Numerous policy initiatives at central and local levels support China's push into **RISC-V**.
   - These efforts aim to break out of technological containment led by the United States by leveraging open-source hardware¹[4].

3. **Market Share Projections:**
   - **RISC-V** products are proliferating globally at a compound annual growth rate of 40%.
   - By **2030**, **RISC-V** chips could attain a **25% market share** in the system-on-chip (SoC) sector¹[4].

4. **National Security Implications:**
   - While China's focus on **RISC-V** has received little attention from Western governments until recently, assessments of potential risks to national security are now overdue.
   - The U.S. Department of Commerce is reviewing China's involvement in open-source **RISC-V** chip technology due to national security concerns²[1] ³[2] ⁴[3].

In summary, China's enthusiasm for **RISC-V** stems from its belief in the advantages of an open standard, its ambition for technological autonomy, and the desire to reduce reliance on American technology. As **RISC-V** continues to evolve, it will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the industry, with China at the forefront of this transformative movement¹[4] ⁵[5]. 🚀
