So European, right?
I'm immediately thinking: there's got to be some sort of sovereign aspect to the initiative ... right?
I mean, if there's one place you want a silicon stack that wasn't manufactured in China, it's most definitely in the guts of your industrial infrastructure (assuming you still have one, yes, point taken).
But, if you look at the "The silicon is here." section and dig a little:

Wake me up when someone can actually build a computer from scratch with EU-made parts.

A lot of ST made ARM chips should be more or less EU made, or at least Western made

That may be a high bar. Would all countries in the world collaborating, except for China, Taiwan and South Korea, even be able to do this?
> build a computer from scratch
What would it take to make this possible, if not completely then at least move in the right direction?
Aside from re-thinking computer manufacturing from the ground up.. RISC-V, or something like it, seems like the right idea as part of the solution.
