The factuality of this article is pretty dodgy.
The C910 core was not launched two years ago, it was launched in July 2019, at the same time as the C906, and just weeks after the RISC-V base ISA (RV64IMAFDC) was officially frozen and published.
THead recently said their customers have shipped billions of these cores. The C906 was available earlier with the AWOL Nezha dev board available in around June 2021. A board ("RVB-ICE") with three C910 cores in a low volume test chip became available in November 2021 or so.
Two mass-production chips with the C910 (quad core TH1520 and 64 core SG2042) became available in test chips in early 2023 and shipped in volume in July 2023 and January 2024.
I'm not sure why the SG2042 would not be regarded as a "server grade" chip. It's similar microarchitecture and cache and clock speed to Amazon's Graviton 1 five years earlier, except with 64 cores instead of 16. Certainly 2nd generation chips will be better, but it's already usable.
