i was thinking of it more in the way of how ARM came to be. they took RISC, built upon and extended it, with the end result being proprietary processors which weren't RISC anymore.

i strongly doubt that anything qualcomm will create would contribute to the risc-v ecosystem at a whole. on the other hand, maybe it's an important step for it's mass adoption. time will tell

    as much as i love seeing a company embracing risc-v... why did it have to be qualcomm? they'll just turn it into their own proprietary crap just so they can save money on the arm licenses

    when did behaving like a cunt become normal? companies used to have at least a shred of integrity, if only to not get into trouble legally. nowadays they are indistinguishable from the mob, i'd trust the word of organised crime more at this point
