VisonFive 2 is a decent amount faster than a RPi4.
And there was a floodgate opened for high perf core announcements at the recent RISC-V summit. https://www.semianalysis.com/p/ventana-risc-v-cpus-beating-next https://www.semianalysis.com/p/ventana-risc-v-cpus-beating-n... Most of those are probably bullshiting some major aspect of their cores' perf but there's designs like from from Jim Keller's Tenstorrent too. Jim Keller is sort of known for not bullshitting.
- hajile 4y agoThere's a big difference here. A lot of very good designers saw a way to cash in on the emerging RISC-V market. Chip designers saw the potential and joined stealth startups where they could go from $400k per year to many millions. This potential payout poached a LOT of the best designers from big-name design companies. I think there's a lot of potential here and probably a bit less over-promising than you'd get from companies without such experienced design talent.

- snvzz 4y agoBut it's a qualified not. Specifically, I know two ways: 0. VisionFive 2's SoC has drastically faster GPU and overall better peripherals 1. Raspberry Pi 4 will overheat and heavily throttle at the slightest hint of load. With this in mind, VisionFive 2's CPU will in most situations be faster, by virtue of not throttling. *. Most heatsinks only mitigate this situation partially. You'd need either active cooling, or to get a 400 instead, which whole keyboards very effectively acts as heatsink.
