    AMD may have an interest in this, and has been looking into RISC-V architectures for some time now. These are modular style chips, where you can easily design your own chip. Being able to combine a gpu and cpu could also make it scalar, so you combine two or more chips for more power, all on the same sub-straight.

    At this point, all I can say is I wish them luck, because we need serious alternatives to Intel, AMD, and Nvidia. Theoretically, if they have a really efficient architecture, it might require 1/3 of the transistors to do the same amount of work, while transistor speeds are already good enough for video games to practically eliminate all the old problems with frame rates.
