Amid the DeepSeek surge, smaller firms using AI may turn to RISC-V chips for cost savings. The report notes that even if a 10 million yuan RISC-V setup delivers 30% of NVIDIA or Huawei’s performance, purchasing three could still be more affordable.

Yup. If these guys come up with a half-decent CPUs they won't have to pay the ARM, Intel or AMD premium, they can significantly decrease the cost of compute in a whole lot of sectors and use cases. And if they open source and / or sell those chips to everyone...

And I think it's just a matter of time for them to develop those designs.
