Interesting, but awaiting more info on specs and price.

I would really like some small board with a general-purpose class CPU for starting to hack RISC-V with Linux or FreeBSD.

No matter what GPU they decide to use, it will certainly run circles around the Pi's paltry VideoCore GPU, which is even quite weak in the Pi 4.

CPU-wise is less clear. A72 is pretty respectable and Pi 4 managed to include 4 of them.

Some early RISC-V-based SiFive HiFive benchmarks here https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=SiFive-RISC-V-Initial-Benchmark

Can Imagination Technologies make a better RISC-V processor than SiFive's effort? Currently the results doesn't look that encouraging, still a big gap in performance...
