It's an open Instruction Set Architecture compared to x86 used by Intel and AMD. An ISA is basically (oversimplifying a bit) how a computer knows how to compute. It's important that it's open because it's royalty free and, importantly for China, not able to be sanctioned
The day where I can use a Chinese made laptop with RISC-V running Linux-libre will be glorious .
Can't wait to be able to run open source operating system on open hardware. :)
I am compooter dumb what is RISCV?
