There are also many high-performance Chinese implementations that are open-source (e.g., XuanTie C910, XiangShan, etc.).
While achieving an open-core design comparable to Zen 5 is unlikely in the near term, a sustained open-source collaborative effort could, in the long run, significantly change the situation. For example, current versions of XiangShan are targeting ~20 SPECint 2006/GHz (early where at ~9).

We've seen this with the hyperscalers and in a million other places. Use open to pressure and weed out incumbents and market leaders. Then you're free to do whatever. So we'd be replacing NSA spying with MSS spying.
