RISC-V and OpenPOWER are the last remaining non-user-hostile ISAs. That and possibly old x86.
minus-squarerottingleaf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoI don’t think any ISA is backdoored. The implementations can be. But, of course, you can without any problems make a backdoored CPU with RISC-V ISA. Or with OpenPOWER. I’d like ppc desktop hardware tbh. With OpenFirmware and all the convenience, but modern.
