The Libre-SOC Project aims to bring a DRM-free 3D GPU/CPU/VPU processor to fruition, providing the backbone of guaranteed "right to repair" and beyond. Anyone technically familiar with Apple's new processor knows the true implications: if Apple controls the entire stack right from boot, then with their market share, vendor lock-in on an unprecedented scale becomes the new reality. With Intel losing the plot (Spectre, Meltdown, QA failures) other vendors will likely follow their example.
If we do not wish to see that happen it is our duty and responsibility to provide alternative processor designs that are targetted at mass-volume products: tablets, smartphones, chromebooks and more.
