This core is targeted at "smaller-is-better" applications with few actual instruction-throughput requirements. If it reaches 200 MHz on a Xilinx KU060, I will be delighted. (That specific clock frequency on that specific part carries heavy hints about what this core is intended for.)
With that in mind: the single instruction-per-clock design is for simplicity's sake, not performance's sake. If the execution stage were pipelined, it'd be a different core. If performance is the goal, I'd start by ripping out some of the details that distinguish this core from other (excellent) RISC-V cores.

- alex7o 4y agoThat is actually a good time, because some of it can get super expensive. Also the mining ones just end up in landfills if nobody buys them.
- speed_spread 4y agoMining landfills is the way. Future generations will not believe how much magic we threw away.
- wildzzz 4y agoA fully space-qualified version is something like $150k.
