India goes RISC-V with VEGA processors
One of the main advantages of RISC-V architecture is that it is open, so any organization with the right skills can develop its own cores, and India's government has taken up this opportunity with the Microprocessor Development Programme (MDP) helping develop VEGA RISC-V cores locally.
Thanks to funding by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) managed to design five RISC-V processors ranging from a single-core 32-bit RISC-V microcontroller-class processor to a Linux capable quad-core 64-bit out-of-order processor.
[...] We should not expect a processor for desktop Linux anytime soon, as AS4161 [the 64-bit quad-core] mostly targets storage and networking applications.

India is a democracy and isn't currently genociding the Uighurs. That's an improvement.

Yup i agree there is institutionalized killing of muslims or making their lives harder...just like there is one in the US against black people.
Would you call the ease with which cops kill black people genocide in the US ?
Except for the train burning in Gujarat more than a decade ago I have not heard of genocide attempt or mass encampment of Muslims.

The US is putting blacks in concentration camps? And they're being killed by the hundreds per day by cops?
Wow, where do you get your news from? You need a little more than a dash of reality in your "news" feed. You have an interesting definition of "genocide."

Yes. They are calling them American cities, tho'. Other than that, not much of a difference.

Not cities. Jails.
American blacks are the most incarcerated people in the world. It is part of a very long-term racist strategy to keep blacks down.
You black? You belong in jail (on whatever trumped up charge we can come up with).
You been in jail? Those with a criminal record can't vote.
You can't vote? You can't change the system, even if you're in the majority.

And yet, we are allied with autocratic monarchies which practice slavery and frequently treat their populations brutally. The same ones starving people to death in Yemen...
