Comment on Europe bets on RISC-V for homegrown supercomputing platform
TheGreyGhost@lemmy.ml 1 year agoConsidering that you can buy some Raspberry Pi micro computers (these are ARM architecture computers) for less than €100 that are performance competitive with a lot of existing hardware; this idea would make a ton of sense for Europe to implement. I think Europe could probably start designing and manufacturing chips locally within 2 to 5 years on the low end 5 to 10 years on the high end.

It helps significantly that the EU already has a lot of the necessary expertise at every level.

I love the raspberry pi, but it’s far from being competitive to something like an apple m4, a Qualcomm snapdragon or an am5 chip from AMD.
For its intended purpose it doesn’t need to, but it’s way slower and less power efficient.
