> RISC-V is a competitor to Intel. If successful RISC-V threatens to not only take market share from Intel, but turn the entire market away from proprietary CPU's that are Intel's bread and butter.
No, RISC-V is not a competitor of Intel. RISC-V is a competitor of x86.
RISC-V is an ISA while Intel is a company. Intel could sell RISC-V processors if it had to. And maybe they will in the future? So it's not really a threat to Intel CPU market.
And no, RISC-V is not a free and open-source CPU, RISC-V is a royalty-free and open-source ISA.
So the market is not turning away from proprietary CPUs.
But maybe it turns towards proprietary CPUs that implement an opensource ISA.
