RISC-V is open source, not based in the US, and has the potential to completely change the economics of the processor market. This is why the U.S. government considers the technology a threat to national security and may try to suppress its adoption. There is a lot of fear around China having a first class processor option to produce. The processor architecture should perform as well anything else given the right foundry, so it seems possible that if the folks at AheadComputing have some innovative ideas, they might actually be able to leap ahead a bit. Changing the market is another story though, and it's hard to picture much change anytime soon.
