    ARM is a UK-based company. If they hadn’t dropped out of EU, it’s possible they would have settled on an ARM-based supercomputer design.

    Chalk it up to another WIN for Brexit!

      ARM was bought by the Japanese, it’s no longer European. RISC-V is the future.

      Considering that you can buy some Raspberry Pi micro computers (these are ARM architecture computers) for less than €100 that are performance competitive with a lot of existing hardware; this idea would make a ton of sense for Europe to implement. I think Europe could probably start designing and manufacturing chips locally within 2 to 5 years on the low end 5 to 10 years on the high end.
