However, this seems to be a project very dear to the Chinese govt., and I don't suppose they would want to outsource it to Taiwan with whom they could be at war any moment.
UMC and TSMC have started investment heavily in China. There are severeal 12" wafer fab contstructed jointly by Japanese and Chinese companies. There will be no lack of fab capable of producing this chip when it become commercially available.
Taiwan's government is having trouble stopping the Taiwanese semiconductors to move to China.
What's a pure microkernel? Mach 3, the "pure microkernel" OS has been in existence for years but it's not really adapted. The contept is nice but do I really want my "listen()" call to create message passing arround the user level program to kernel and become a RPC to the network stack server? Apple only does what's necessary to make Mach perform well while not violating the principle behind microkernel. Mach 4 project in U of Utah was trying to do the same thing.
Overall, does it really matter to you whether it "pure" microkernel or not?
