Comments by "Anony Mousse" (@anon_y_mousse) on "Libreboot Is Right About CPU Microcode" video.
I know there are projects to have open source motherboards, and they're very possible for moderately skilled people to produce, if they so desire. I think what we really need to develop is the technology to produce in some capacity processors at home, or in such a way as people could collectively fund a batch of chips to be fabricated. I know it seems unlikely, and it would be very difficult to fab chips, and definitely won't be something we'll see open sourced and competing with Intel or AMD, but open sourced and less capable for sure. If all these retro enthusiasts can source new-old stock 6502 chips and other such things, surely with enough support we should be able to find a fab that is willing to produce 15 year old designs that are still capable of handling all we need them to.
