@cwebber@octodon.social Yep, ever since I read 'Intel x86 considered harmful' I've been amazed by how many CPUs exist inside a modern computer. Any could have bugs.
There have been some verification efforts for RISC-V, and the ISA seems to have a bright future, so I'm hopeful there.
I hope it's economically viable though. I loved the OpenMoko project but it wasn't commercially successful.
I understand that companies wanting strong guarantees do custom, verified, single-purpose hardware (e.g. with Galois).
