    Now that is impressive, Russia is already a militar powerhouse, so they actually need sophisticated hardware in order to control all that armament, a modern RISC-V microprocessor aimed for the laptop market could secretly be meant to be used for other activities.

        Well i don’t know about that, fabricating microprocessors and designing them are two different things. Having that said, Globalfoundries doesn’t belong to China.

        I’ve heard that intel wants to buy Globalfoundries for 30 billion dollars, so that move would potentially be used against Russia’s interests. I think at the end of the day Russia will gravitate towards the chinese sphere, regardless of what they want.
