SiFive also updated the website, and gave the first SPECint2017 score: Their P870-D is supposed to have a >2 SPECint2017/GHz.<p><a href="https://www.sifive.com/cores/performance-p870d" rel="nofollow">https://www.sifive.com/cores/performance-p870d</a>
What RISC-V needs to take off, IMO, is laptop/workstation solutions. I believe what has given ARM a huge leg up in terms of development mindpower is Apple's M1. Ideally for RISC-V, there'd be an apple product with it inside. Barring that, you are basically asking for new software for RISC-V to be developed on non-risc-v devices. That can work, but I think it really slows down adoption.
Very excited for this but would really appreciate more details. Core frequency, SRAM volumes, CXL generation, PCIE lanes, memory channels... or even ballpark performance estimates.<p>Has anyone here played with their embedded chips? What was the experience?
There wasn't much discussion in the last thread, but Akeana announces their RISC-V portfolio yesterday: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41239474">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41239474</a>
