It’s not at all surprising that China is moving towards RISC-V, but we still have to see mainstream RISC-V solutions that can come even close to existing ARM and x86 solutions.
“Even if a RISC-V solution priced at 10 million yuan might only reach about 30% of the level of NVIDIA or Huawei, buying three sets means the overall cost might still be lower,” he said during the event. “I think this is a breakthrough point.”
This seems more like an aspirational statement and I am not sure how a RISC-V CPU would compete with Nvidia in enterprise GPUs (the ARM CPUs developed/used by Nvidia for such solutions are arguably a small part of the total cost of the solution).
