And here are the Chinese Zhenwu 810E RISC-V chips for AI training and inference and the XuanTie C950 chips for cloud servers.

Uniquely, RISC-V chips are avaiable regardless of which team you decide are the bad guys. And, after decades of reliance on an ecosystem, if your RISC-V supplier becomes erratic, unreliable, and unethical you can source your RISC-V tech somewhere else or even create your own. With any other ISA, you are stuck.
