SiFive emerged from stealth mode as a developer of small, low-power cores for microcontrollers in 2016. By late 2020, the company had a chip that could run Linux

The HiFive Unleashed was released on February 1, 2018 and it could run Linux.

On Reddit, user brucehoult said:

That's kind of a bad start to the article given that I already owned a HiFive Unleashed running Linux in March 2018.

just a matter of time ai chip can translate instruction set almost without delay by that time it doesnt matter what kind cpu is i think,
you can use arm, x86, i386 at any chip

I think that high multi-core processor could become interesting for the data center ...
HPC customers would want the Vector extension though, which is currently in review.
