How much are you willing to pay for it? There's the Talos Secure Workstation, which has no such ME firmware (but costs ~$4.5k) [1]. A RISC-V desktop is pretty far out. There is an Arduino style microcontroller being made in silicon, though [2].

Note that it looks like they may not make their goal. It ends on Dec 15th, and they only have about 10% raised ($344,310 raised of $3,700,000 goal)

  It's only 32bit. This is not something I'm interested in funding. If it was 64bit or the 128bit version of RISC-V it would be more alluring.

    Where did you read that? The TALOS machine uses POWER8 which is 64 bit. EDIT: Ah right there are two different links above

    It's a microcontroller. Think ARM Cortex-M0.

> How much are you willing to pay for it? Wrong question. Correct question would be: "How much are you willing and able to pay for it?" (for me it much more strongly fails because of the second criterion).

  If you're willing to pay more than you're able to, I think you need to reevaluate your approach to personal finance first.

    Thanks, but I believe my approach to personal finance is quite right and responsible. This does not contradict the fact that there are things that I am willing to pay for, but not able to. Exactly because my approach to personal finance is responsible, I don't spend money in this situation.

      I think we must understand the word "willing" differently.

Not really. They're talking Raspberry PI type devices based on RISC-V on the market by late 2017. Source: MeetBSDCon 2016, update on RISC-V by the team who designed it.
