I've just seen a demo of a very high performance RISC-V chip (actual silicon) that'll blow the doors off other implementations. Under NDA of course.

Actually available for pre-order, take a look at the UltraRISC DP-1000 (unrelated to the chip above).

Excellent! But probably open-source implementations will also continue to improve.

Can you share any details? Like potential year of release?

That's actually the most NDA thing, since companies don't want to be held to a release date. However the fact they have fully functional engineering samples running in their offices now is very encouraging.
