That was my point. It is slower than a RPI4, which is already too slow to use for anything serious. You can't expect StarLite to develop a tablet that is 'a little slower than RPi4', because nobody but you will buy it. And yes, your workflow may be possible on a low powered machine, but that is not how the majority of customers use a tablet. Until there is a serious competitor to modern x86 processors in terms of performance (which the JH7110 definitely isn't), RISC-V is not going to be offered in any commercial grade product anytime soon.
> Here I just do not understand what point you're trying to make.
The point I was trying to make, it that the other alternative, ARM, is also not suitable for StarLite's mission due to the closed blobs. So really, x86 is the only viable option they have.

It is slower than a RPI4, which is already too slow to use for anything serious. I am still using my RPi1, but I guess my uses would not meet this arbitrary "something serious" tablet requirement. Joking aside, the RPi4 is actually very fast, and its shortcomings are elsewhere than the CPU. E.g. its GPU is grossly inadequate. Its video codec block can't encode. It lacks cryptography acceleration, so LUKS and SSL need to be done in the cpu with non-specialized instructions. These are issues JH7110 does not have. The experience is much better with JH7110. >The point I was trying to make, it that the other alternative, ARM, is also not suitable for StarLite's mission due to the closed blobs. Ah. They buy the FSF nonsense where closed blobs need to be burned into a ROM for the machine to quality as "open". Unfortunate, but I understand. RISC-V is inevitable.
