I'm not sure, I'm hoping that there will be a dev board for the SiFive U500 range; though if there is one, chances are it will not have an integrated GPU. Though, if we're talking desktop use cases, you could use the PCIe 3.0 bus to add one, if that's what you're looking for. I think we're still probably at least a year off from the first RISC-V SBC with an application processor and a GPU on it.

- microcolonel 9y agoI looked at the announcements, and it looks like SiFive will have something called "HiFive Unleashed" coming out in Q1, sooner than I thought. It looks like a U500 board with an HDMI port (and USB ports) attached through an FPGA. So you could even get somewhat (2d) accelerated framebuffer probably with a little bit of fiddling on the FPGA, not sure what kind of resolutions you could get out of the HDMI with an FPGA-based CRTC though. :- )
