US sanctions massively setback RISC-V.

We would have had the Milk-V OASIS last year , something better by now, and the answer to “as good as ARM” would be yes.

But Sophgo, the company making the SoC was accused of helping Huawei get access to restricted technology. So TSMC refused to make their chips. And the Milk-V OASIS was cancelled.

Massive blow to RISC-V.
