I don't want to buy Russian or Chinese any more than I want to buy American. Rhea is interesting, but seems only targeted at HPC and uses ARM cores. Now RISC-V on the other hand... Damn I do hope it takes off. I suppose it's dependent on software support as much as actual CPU support, so once I can actually buy a RISC-V machine, I'll see if there's anything I can do to widen RISC-V support in the FOSS world. I'm sure there are plenty of projects that will build without a whole load of modifications needed, but need someone to configure the build targets and test.
Yes but already a long way ahead, but at least the way is there.
