History is much easier than prediction.
I'm with Jim Keller when he says that in time the fastest CPUs will be RISC-V ones.

If China leapfrogs EUV, this could happen.
What does this have to do with anything? You do know that a bunch of American corporations are shipping RISC-V cores, right? Including Jim Keller's current company, Tenstorrent.
Chinese scale is one way RISC-V could win. If China suddenly starts reaching <5nm process nodes at scale and uses RISC-V, they'd flood the market with cheap high performance RISC-V chips and probably start using them in their domestic Android phone market.
