Why not RISC-V?
Isn't risc-v an instruction set itself? It can't be x86, because x86 is the instruction set. Someone more knowledgeable, feel free to chime in.
They'd require license to produce x86 hardware, but not with RISC-V since it's patent free.
Did you miss the part about China? They don’t give a shit about patents.
In their view patents only exist for their companies to copy and profit from.
While they might not give a shit about patent, they do need the design detail, something only the licensor could give.
Without it, they'd be spending their precious time reverse engineering with no guarantee of success.
RISC-V, on the other hand, have the design documents available to public.
Reverse engineer is a strange way to spell "steal"
Reverse engineering is reverse engineering. It is in fact legal in most places.
Yes, there are differences between unlawfully acquiring design document and creating one thru collection of perceivable data
Lol yes because China is well known for their lawful acquisition of intellectual property.
How silly of me.
You don't seem to understand my point.
They would've done it if it's easy, or given no other choice. It would've been much easier & cheaper to just buy the IP license than stealing it. All businesses (including the unlawful ones) would choose the easier & cheaper option.
I mean... they could've hired a bunch of hackers to try stealing it from the company server or something. Then again, cost (and also risk) would incur.
No, it doesn't work like in the movie. Everything here simply comes down to cost & benefit. Boring, huh..?
You sure are naive. Or looking to up your social credit score.
Super boring.
And you're an idiot who watches too much movies.
