RISC-V based 64-bit quad-core application processor
AFACT, the only non-incremental innovations in CPU architecture these days is open source commoditization (the RISC-V approach) and taking VLIW to the extreme (the Mill Computing approach). Maybe we've hit diminishing returns, but both of those ideas still seem super promising to me.The baffling thing is that we've got VC money coming out of our ears. They're funding unicorns with no hope of returns and funding every single uber-for-x idea under the sun. And yet it seems like both of these approaches have received almost zero funding in comparison. How is it that Mill Computing and SiFive (or any other RISC-V commercialization company), have not received billions of dolllars in venture capital yet?
