A 3rd World Embedded Engineer Responds to "RISC-V They Should Have Known Better"

Take a look at some of the really new ones, like the Milk-V Jupiter 2 based around the SpaceMIT K3[0]. Single core is still lacking but the multi-core isn't all that far behind a pi5 (350 vs 900 single core and 1700 vs 2100 multicore in a geekbench beta version).

And I will note that the other poster didn't say they beat it, just that there are lots of chips being built. I'd imagine that the cores on the tenstorrent cards would blow all the other arm cores out of the water if you could run the benchmarks on them directly, given the much higher core speeds and memory bandwidth etc.

The multicore is only close because the RISC-V one has twice as many cores and uses twice as much power. That would suggest the RISC-V cores are getting around pi3 levels of performance which is a decade old and losing badly as perf/W.
