The lower you go the harder it is to be able to identify security risks
Why the heck do we have such a technology in CPUs?
One usual use case is for IPMI-style server management, being able to remotely monitor and interact with the machine before even the BIOS is ready, so particularly more relevant to server deployments. For example, adjusting BIOS settings over a dedicated management LAN for several thousand rack servers
ok so it's the classic compfort vs. security... kind of.
So, Ignoring security for a moment, it makes remote resolution of severe machine issues much easier. It is great for IT, it even allows remote OS reinstall.
Now, considering security issues and the lack of parity between AIs ability to attack and defend (better at breaking than fixing) it is sure to become a huge vulnerability, IMO.
Are there even any European companies that explore the usage of risc-v?
Damn, that's interesting, just wished they tried harder.
We can't all be Avis. (Orville references welcome.)
Good luck in trying to make a non-AMD or non-Intel x86 CPU. Maybe the chinese will find success in 10 years.
I dunno man, ARM and RISC-V are pretty dope.
It'd be nice if, say, ST would shit out a EU market RISC-V linux SoC akin to the CV1800B or SG2002 or BL808. But like, europe fabs.
Would need a ton of investment but at least ASML is also a European company.
Does Europe have fabs? Or are they purely reliant on Asia and the US fabs?

49 open fabs, according to this list.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
