Explanation:

 • It will reduce dependency on imported microchips and the risk of cyber attacks making it ideal for communication and defence sectors.
• The design originated from an open source instruction set architecture, a set of basic instructions a processor understands, called RISC V, which makes it customisable to any device.
• Bluespec, an open-source high level synthesis language, went into making the chips.
• The brain of all computing and electronic devices, many such microprocessors that are connected are used to operate larger high-speed systems and super computers.
• The microprocessor fabricated in India was in a 180nm facility, while the one in the US was in a 20nm.
• However, 180nm is outdated, but still it is relevant as many applications across the world look for limited frequency. You do not need a washing machine or a surveillance camera running at one gigahertz. This chip can be used for any application where conventional power is available. While the other that we fabricated in the US earlier consumes less power and hence can be used in mobiles.
• The microprocessor has already attracted the attention of Indian industry, and IIT-M is in touch with more than 13 companies involved in strategic and commercial applications.
