This sounds really great, I hope that some day we will get an alternative to x86 that is not ARM.
The new ARM processors like Snapdragon X elite and the M processors from apple sound promising, but I don't know what I should think about the company "ARM".
Though what I find a bit weird is that this board only has 4 cores, as this is intended for developers which probably need to compile many things which could benefit from more cores.

Still cool as a technology demonstrator though Edit: looks like Jeff Geerling tested this same SOC in the vision 5, TLDR; slightly slower than a pi 3B+ https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/risc-v-business-testing-starfives-visionfive-2-sbc https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/risc-v-business-testi...
- SushiHippie 2y ago> Still cool as a technology demonstrator though Yes that's for sure, and it's amazing that Framework created this, so people which already have a Framework 13 could easily swap their mainboard. But slower than a pi 3b+ is a bummer, I'm not the target audience for it, but I think this may be a show stopper for developers who want to port software to risc-v and use it for testing. Or at least it would not be a great experience (apart from all the other problems you'll have with a relatively "new" ISA like risc-v)
