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.
