If I remember correctly, the last time I checked 586-level x86 was fully open and some of the P6 patents were close to expiring, so it might make another contender for an open-source CPU. Since Intel and AMD don't license x86 soft-cores unlike ARM and MIPS (which RISC-V is similar to), I think there could be fewer legal issues. Compatibility is another bonus; it's possible to put an entire PC-compatible on a single chip: http://www.vortex86.com/dx |
