US-China Tech War now Focused on RISC-V chip Technology | Gestalt IT Rundown: October 11, 2023
Manage episode 379508989 series 2134755
In the ongoing geopolitical battle between the United States and China, a new front has emerged, focusing on the open-source chip technology known as RISC-V. American lawmakers, citing national security concerns, are pressuring the Biden administration to place restrictions on U.S. companies' involvement in RISC-V, which is widely utilized in China. This technology competes with proprietary chip architectures from Arm and Intel and has applications ranging from smartphone chips to advanced artificial intelligence processors. The lawmakers fear that China is exploiting the culture of open collaboration among American companies to bolster its own semiconductor industry, potentially undermining the U.S.'s leadership in the chip field and supporting China's military modernization. We've spoken a lot about RISC-V and the US/China situation, so it's no surprise that these are coming together. How should we look at this situation?
