I mean you could paste into ChatGPT:

But this is my _personal_ takeaway: there are companies building (or trying to) Risc-V cores at advanced geometries. That is somewhat unheard of for a rather new and not-yet popular core. This suggests a lot of momentum for it. It's actually a new Japanese company called "Rapidus" that has some major backers and it's working with Tenstorrent (which has had a lot of buzz over the last couple of years). So it's exciting because a new company is entering the ring, from a new country, and they are benefitting Risc-V which is gaining traction.

There is another article on this here: https://www.anandtech.com/show/21281/tenstorrent-licenses-ri...
