i was replying to the point that all hardware is made by large corporations. That will not change, irrelevant of whether the isa is open source or not.
and arm do not manufacture chips. Usually tsmc or samsung do. The fact that chips exist is orthogonal to the argument of who ends up manufacturing them
I like the idea of RISC-V, but I need something like a Raspberry Pi except RISC-V. I can accept a little jank, but it needs to be “good enough” if you catch my drift.
RISC-V is a good start though
pretty hard to do computation on a pdf. which is what risc-v is. You need someone to design and build a chip according to what’s in those pdfs

You know there’s tons of real chips out already and more coming all the time?
ARM is as much just a spec at heart.

Yes but who is going to manufacture that chip and board and components?
3D printers, eventually?
Perhaps, but that’s quite far away still
