Perhaps an EU-backed one might appear at some point.
Recently I stumbled upon a Chinese team working on a FOSS pair of cores, with source in GitHub. I think they were aiming at competing with A76 and N2. Supposedly they’re well underway.
If these guys (or any others) tape out a competitive FOSE chip, it’ll change the world. If it’s a decent project, everyone and their mother will fork it. And we’ll get chips that cost just a bit over the silicon and packaging cost.
Jim Keller is now working on one. I kind of doubt it will be FOSS, though.
Yeah I have no hope for an American FOSS design.
