Actual RVA23 hardware and useful performance – for a certain price
Since May we have been benchmarking the SpacemiT K3 RISC-V SoC as one of the first to market RISC-V chips supporting the RVA23 profile. The SpacemiT K3 has shown how far RISC-V per...
One of the RISC-V SoCs we have been most looking forward to this year is the SpacemiT K3 that features the X100 RISC-V cores that are RVA23 compliant and among the first readily av...
HFI proposes a familiar PC-style route from power-on to operating system
Recently I published some initial SpacemiT K3 benchmarks for that first-to-market RISC-V RVA23 SoC with the K3 Pico-ITX mini computer. In there was a comparison against modern Inte...
Along with the many x86/x86_64 improvements and some ARM64 architecture improvements (albeit slowed down by the AI/LLM noise affecting the development pace), the RISC-V architectur...
A homebrew PC and mini-mainframe were only the warm-up for Yuri Zaporozhets' latest operating system
StarFive has announced a new partnership with server CPU design company LECARC to develop a new generation of RISC-V server processors designed for intelligent edge computing. The...
Beijing’s sovereign stack ambitions strengthen
An important one-liner is set to come for Linux 7.2 to enable ESWIN SoC support by default for RISC-V kernel builds. This change will allow default RISC-V kernel builds in turn to...
The next version will have 32,000 MCUs
A post merge-window change that landed in Linux Git overnight ahead of tomorrow's Linux 7.2-rc2 release is bumping the default limit on the number of supported CPU cores for RISC-V...
