/me counts the number of chip producing companies…
Not really more than 3 either at semi decent node sizes.
An open ISA is certainly nice if your alternatives are owned by companies that might have to sanction you in the future, but chip production is way too complicated for an open ISA to make much difference for consumers in regards to more competion (especially outside of China).
