Can we make our own RISC-V chips like using FPGAs or something? Or would that be infinitely less robust than anything purpose-built by industry?

Chinese manufacturers seem to offer plenty of options for RISC-V MCUs and raspberrypi knockoffs, but they seem to be always sold out or they don't ship to my country

    The ESP32 series have already switched to RISC-V for most models and many other microcontrollers has too. There's not a lot in the laptop/desktop territory but with enough incentives it's gonna happen

    Oh ya, the C3 and I think the C5. Not sure what the current versions are but if they're in esp32's then I guess that's pretty main stream, just nowhere near a computer processor just yet.

    Are the RISC-V ESP32's cheaper than that ARM ones?

    FPGAs are going to be way more expensive. It's possible, but the cost-to-performance ratio would be abysmal.
