There are none yet. RISC-V is likely to appear in embedded and mobile devices before a full desktop machine is competitive with Intel processors.

  Why not embedded? It seems like that would happen well before full desktop machines and competitive speeds.

    Er.. that's exactly what he said in the post you replied to.

      Oops, I somehow repeatedly read it as "unlikely" :-/

  It's most likely going to be like with ARM and be embedded only, sadly. There's a large number of us, not large enough though, that want a standard ATX motherboard, with PCI-Express and an ARM, RISC-V or PowerPC processor (well an affordable PowerPC).

    (A more) affordable PPC option is coming (though no pricing yet): https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Blackbird https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Blackbird (mATX)

      !! The Raptor workstation was just barely outside my budget; if I hadn't just upgraded my actual workstation I probably could have talked myself into it. Assuming it's priced comparably cheaper to the raptor, I am buying a blackbird as soon as it comes out.

    MACCHIATObin is a mini-ITX ARMv8 board with PCIe and great firmware (comes with U-Boot but you can flash (or chainload from u-boot) EDK2/TianoCore with ACPI support (!) and even QEMU for the "GPU BIOS" thingy that lets you get video out as EFI framebuffer) Also there's the SoftIron Overdrive 1000 (sold only as full system, not bare board)
