Efforts by the Chinese Academy of Sciences form part of Beijing’s push to reduce reliance on foreign semiconductor technology.

A team from China’s top government research academy pledged to produce this year a processor based on the open-source chip-design architecture RISC-V, as Beijing advances its semiconductor self-reliance drive amid escalating US restrictions.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) will be able to deliver its XiangShan open-source central processing unit in 2025, wrote Bao Yungang, deputy director at the academy’s Institute of Computing Technology, in a Weibo post on Sunday.

    That’s cool they made it open source and all, but there is an absolutely zero percent chance any of us will make one of these on our own. Neat for validating the code, though.
