> My impression is that the minion cores will be full RV64GCV but very simple - like rocket but with a vector unit. Yes, I think they must be very simple. Otherwise they couldn't fit 4096 of them, even on 7 nm. I'm quite sure it's a scalar cpu (er, non-superscalar to make it clear), with a 1 or maybe 2 lane vector unit. > did he say that? Yes, see slide 10 at https://content.riscv.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Tue1136-Industrial-Strength-High-Performance-RISC-V-Processors-for-Energy-Efficient-Computing-Ditzel-Esperanto.pdf https://content.riscv.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Tue1136...
