#2Should we Europeans start the new design of the CPU chip?

#3Will I get lots of rotten tomatoes telling, that this is a huge waste of money?
Chips production is one thing, but the whole ecosystem matters. So these chips produced in Europe must be sent back to Asia for integration in final products. Or a miracle will happen and European Union will resurrect manufacturing? I doubt, because manufacturing means missing climate goals.

I don't understand - do you think there is no manufacturing in Europe?
To give a concrete example - some European car factories are shut down due to... lack of chips.

It will be the mythical green manufacturing jobs...

Maybe some startup in Cambridge can come up with an advanced risc machine.

#8Apparently they got a prototype FPGA design booting Linux: https://www.hpcwire.com/off-the-wire/european-processor-init...

#9As long as the principal idea behind the decision is statecraft (we need this to be onshored) vs lets make a genuinely better chip for customers it'll never work.
There's a graveyard of EU decisions like this, having a non American owned AWS type company, etc, etc.

A lot of minor manufacturing, plus a lot of assembly to be able to call the final product e.g. "german made" and have the associated tax-cuts...
