Current chips largely implement what we retroactively call RVA20: RV64GC. This was ratified in 2019 and unmodified since 2017.
The next batch we are aware of (Ventana Veyron, Tenstorrent Ascalon, SiFive P470/P670/U84, XuanTie C908) implement RVA22+V. The extensions included were largely ratified in December 2021.
- camel-cdr 3y agoDo you know if Ventana Veyron and Tenstorrent Ascalon will be available to regular consumers? I mentally lumped them in with andes from which I haven't seen any vector cores available anywhere, even though they "released" them a long time ago.
- snvzz 3y agoVentana announced last year they'd have server boards late current year. Tenstorrent Ascalon's TBA 2024, but it is a chiplet. We do not know in which form it'll be available in. I am hopeful there'll be development boards.
