> It seems their current top-of-the-line core is on par with an A72 or A77 Their current core, the P870 (the subject of the post we are commenting on) is on par with Cortex X2, announced just over 2 years ago in May 2021. A76 class was the P550, announced in June 2021, 3 years after the A76's May 2018 announcement. A72 class was their U84, back in October 2019, 4 1/2 years after the A72's February 2015 announcement. The time gap has been coming steadily down. All of these cores, both Arm and SiFive, take about four years to get into cheap mass produced catalog part chips and boards e.g. the A76 RK3588 just started appearing in SBCs around May 2022. A72 to Pi 4 was 4 1/2 years. I don't know how much you can pick up a JH7110 with four 1.5 GHz U74s (plus that S7) for, but Milk-V are selling a compute module board with one for $34 https://arace.tech/products/milk-v-mars-cm?variant=42342172262580 https://arace.tech/products/milk-v-mars-cm?variant=423421722...
