Esperanto exits stealth mode, aims at AI with a 4,096-core 7nm RISC-V monster

Nothing really new about this, the most relevant for most people is that Esperanto will hopefully put a lot of love into the open source BOOM repository.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ucb-bar&#x2F;riscv-boom" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ucb-bar&#x2F;riscv-boom</a><p>That will help Open-Source projects such as LowRisc.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lowrisc.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lowrisc.org&#x2F;</a>

I keep reading articles like this about plans to productionize RISC-V processors. I’m rooting for RISC-V, but from what I’ve read it’s difficult to get a sense of progress here.<p>Is there anything on the market that offers price&#x2F;perf close to Intel’s consumer chips? How powerful are RISC-V out-of-order cores compared to Intel’s recent microarchitectures? How about compared to Apple’s ARM cores?

There&#x27;s also Wave Computing.
