News Framework embraces RISC-V processor trend with new laptop mainboard — partners with DeepComputing for StarFive JH7110 SoC board

DeepComputing has built a prototype RISC-V mainboard for the Framework Laptop 13. It will debut at the RISC-V Summit Europe event next week.

You can read on [Framework's blog] about it, without having to go visit Xitter.

The SoC, StarFive JH7110's CPU is a four-core SiFive U74.
It is very underpowered compared to the Intel and AMD mainboards from Framework.

IMHO, DeepComputing should have skipped this one, and gone straight to using the SpacemiT K1 SoC. That one is RVA22-compliant, with vector support, and is about as fast as a Raspberry Pi 3 with twice as many cores.
DC has its own new DC-ROMA Laptop II with that chip.

RISC-V is not there yet.

On the other hand, because RISC-V is an open and royalty-free standard, anyone can use and build on it without needing to ask for permission from RISC-V International, the Swiss-based non-profit association that maintains the ISA, or pay licensing fees.

Yes, well-said.
