A few crack grad students and professors at Berkeley have done a lot in the past few years to spawn a new microprocessor architecture unencumbered by royalties. Their efforts also sparked new possibilities for open source hardware. Even the veteran co-founders of this movement are amazed this could happen given the consolidation and maturity of today’s semiconductor industry.
