A quick one for you. I have received reports, now from multiple sources, that the major torch bearer of the RISC-V platform, a company known as SiFive and formed from the original architects of the RISC-V instruction set, has gone through some major changes.
i.e. layoffs and shift to client-based custom design of cores.
See the register.
This seems mostly related to market conditions (the market now seems to want more profitable companies after the recent tech bubble) , and fake news.
