Before anyone gets too excited, they're going to use RISC-V for watches and such (Wear OS), but it's still a big step towards having Android phones use RISC-V and major adoption. Maybe RISC-V is closer than we thought!

If I understand this correctly, this is an open source processor architecture?

It used to live in shadow of arm until the China ban came up. They funnel the money into riscv which lead to itsquick rise

It's not that, it was nvidia almost buying arm which scared everyone shitless.
