Sipeed's LicheePocket 4A Is the First Gaming Handheld to Feature an RISC-V Chip
- snvzz 3y agoThis gaming handheld concept would make sense in the future, with a full RVA23 chip and more powerful embedded graphics. It's nonsense with the TH1520 chip. I don't get it. Why not release useful products, like the Router/AP form factor they had talked about for their SBC? I would order one once available w/o much thought.
- camel-cdr 3y agoIt would be really cool, if we get all of the cool devices made for the TH1520 also made for the sg2380.
- snvzz 3y agoyup yup But I suspect the SG2380's in a very different ballpark TDP-wise. It'll also be bigger and cost more to make, thus cost more to use in boards too.
- camel-cdr 3y agoThey target 5W-30W TDP. I found some numbers saying the steam deck APU has 4W-15W TDP. And the sg2380 has double the core count, plus the 8 X280s. I'm not sure how the P670s compare to zen2 though.
- camel-cdr 3y agoSo, I think the performance could also be competative. SiFive says the P670 are about as fast as Cortex A78s. I found a specint comparison including the snapdragon 865+ and some intel and amd cpus [0]. The cores in the 865+ should be slower than the P670s, as they are slower than the A78.

- RetroTechie 3y ago"As for performance, well you can't get a lot of gaming performance out of this chip (..) The onboard GPU supports up to OpenGL 3.2, OpenCL 2.0, Vulkan 1.2 & offers 50.7GFLOPS of performance." Huh? There's a contradiction if I ever saw one. As a sniff test: "More powerful than <insert list of classic gaming consoles here>" I'm sure that would be a rather long list. And thus "not a lot of gaming performance" is not an accurate description. As compared to current handhelds, sure. But in that case: name names & show benchmarks, please.
