This seems like a rational decision for @Intel, especially with @NVIDIA absorbing @ARM. A big portion of @SiFive's recent growth was thanks to the NVIDIA-ARM deal. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

i really hope they laughed intel out of the room. I cannot stress how much I want a third high performance CPU ISA in the world https://twitter.com/...

According to a report from @business Intel has offered to acquire RISC-V chip designer SiFive for more than $2 billion, but Intel may not be the only company interested in buying SiFive, while other companies have offered investment rather than takeovers. https://www.bloomberg.co…

if true, this is huge. Open-source keeps marching forward. It will likely change “your” industry one day also. https://twitter.com/...

“SiFive is the first fabless semiconductor company to build customized silicon based on the free and open RISC-V instruction set architecture.” Looks like Intel is ditching x86 sooner than we think ;) Taking the right steps to survive! https://twitter.com/...

Interesting if it goes through. Intel backing and helping develop/standardize RISC-V could be the catalyst that helps it viably compete with Arm. https://t.co/fshBbn8agZ
