This is relatively boring, as machines with this CPU core have been available for years.
Looking forward to something new. BPI-F3 ships this month with a 8 core CPU that implements RVA22 and RVV 1.0.
Milk-V Oasis ships later this year with 16x SiFive P670, which are comparable to Cortex-A77, and thus faster than any ARM SBC that can be bought right now.
They'll be exciting to look at.
- brucehoult 2y ago> machines with this CPU core have been available for years Not true. The first volume-produced (reasonably priced) board with the C910 core was the LicheePi 4A. My pre-ordered $119 quad core board arrived on June 6, which is still less than one year ago. The Lichee Cluster 4A used here shipped in September. Until the BPI-F3 shipped this month it was the newest core available in a multi-core SBC. Sadly so far the BPI-F3 ships only with a paltry 4 GB RAM, not the 16 GB people hoped for (and that the LicheePi has), making it useless for many development jobs, especially if you want to use all 8 cores.
- snvzz 2y agoGot them confused. C906 shipped ages ago. C910 was first available for general public in LM4A which is indeed recent relatively speaking. I agree 4GB makes that Banana Pi board useless. I am hopeful for other boards with the same SoC or a future variant with at least 16GB. We won't be getting very far with make -j8 with just 4GB.
