> Through a partnership with a Chinese fab, the team got space on Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) and received back their RISC-V general purpose processor. The project went viral, the media caught on, and the project gained national attention.
Kudos. But very expectedly it was a Chinese fab.

Kudos to China then. The world can always benefit from more supply. The US was the one who brought semiconductor manufacturing to Japan and Taiwan over 60 years ago. Now it's China's time to shine.

RCA played a large role, specifically.

Wouldn't this just be the same as any other fabless company?

Not much different, no. But I thought it was a good story, bringing it to Kazakhstan, which traditionally doesn't have a semi industry.

I hate the fact that I can tell this was written with AI.

You're right, and I want to slap myself because I didn't even notice the obvious at first. I need my coffee.
Nursultan Kabylkas designed the first chip in Kazakhstan, and in the process he bootstrapped a new national industry.
