Deregulate RISC-V, threaten Intel with loss of IP if they can't profit on fabs, threaten to cut Softbank off of American companies if Masayoshi Son won't onshore RISC manufacturing.
There's soft-power coercion left on the table, the only thing we buy with Intel stock is a C-suite's dinner bill.
> Deregulate RISC-V
What does that even mean?!?
It's already OSS and royalty free. I've participated Series A and B rounds on startups working on RISC-V design.
> threaten Intel with loss of IP if they can't profit on fabs
Investing in Capex is inherently going to put you in a loss for several quarters
> threaten to cut Softbank off of American companies if Masayoshi Son won't onshore RISC manufacturing
He doesn't own RISC-V IP.
