Framework: A new RISC-V Mainboard from DeepComputing

That requires actual hardware, which naturally tends to be in mass production (i.e. cheap) SBCs around four years after the announcement of the core. That's a constant over Arm and RISC-V e.g. we've just in the last two years seen Rock 5, Pi 5 (nine months ago), Orange Pi 5 with Arm A76 cores announced in 2018.

P870 was announced in October. It'll be a while!

P670 was announced November 2022, and will be in e.g. the SG2380 around the end of this year -- actually remarkably fast. It should leapfrog those A76 boards in performance.

> That requires actual hardware . . .

That's the point I was making.

If you don't have the actual hardware, discussion about performance is a waste of time. If you disagree, I urge you to invest in my chip startup. Our chips get 10000x better performance than the any other RISC-V chip on the market. The hardware itself won't be out for 100 years, but that doesn't matter to you :)

>chip startup

Nevermind them not being startups, neither SiFive nor ARM make chips.

As you do not actually make chips, you are also not their client.
