generally speaking you'd need to rewrite everything for a different architecture
Why do you think the CCP is obsessed with Taiwan.I am sure you know this but for those who don't Taiwan has a good market share of global microchip and CPU manufacturing.
Yeah, more what I'm getting at though is that it's not so much that western processors are much more capable than competitors, it's that they're so locked down in terms of trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and hard 'intellectual property' protections that it's impossible to simply clone them or build analogues - you need to do virtually everything from scratch, you can't even use most of the existing tooling and design frameworks.
I don't know which specific chipsets are popular for modern weapons, but if their progress in consumer chips is a decent benchmark, it's probably going to be the better part of a decade before China is able to field direct competition... And any low-level code will need to be ported to the new chipsets, probably totally rewritten.

almost all missiles use chips with technology from 10 years ago, in 10s on nanometer thickness.
the latest line sarmat or caliber w/e probably was conceived during iphone0 era.

looking at consumer RISC-V stuff from china, like Kentryte K210 and K510 chips makes me think China's doing okay.
the thing is the US is currently trying to restrict advance technology from being use in china on one hand, and setting up a special taskforce to steal advanced technology and IP developed in china on the other.

Well historically it's ended after the 2nd one...If US nuked Russia there would be hundreds flying before the 1st one hit. If Russia nuked Ukraine there would be more sanctions

I don';t really understand RISC. people have tried to explain the difference between RISC and CISC and it never makes sense to me.
still though, there's more to it than clock speeds and ops per second.
it's less about being able to fabricate 'modern' chips and more about being able to replicate the functions current chips offer and again, once they're directly competitive, a LOT of code is going to need to be rewritten for the new platforms.
I'm not saying it's impossible, just that it's going to be a real slow process. I'd like to be surprised and see more 'open' chips become common in the market sooner rather than later but I'd doubt it.
