That's incredibly expensive, I'd definitely wait for the sipeed/milkv SiFive P550 boards.
Here is a geekbench comparison of the P550 @1.4GHz vs Cortex-A72 @1.5GHz from the Pi4 (total scores: 150 vs 253): https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/123?baseline=7469319 https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/123?baseline=74...
A large part of the differences are clearly due to missing RVV in the P550.
I'm not sure, but this seems to be P550 @ 1.8GHz results (181): https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/6049688 https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/6049688
The 1.4GHz version is on paper barely faster than the 1.8/2GHz C910 cores that have been available for a while, it's only a slight upgrade if you can reach the 1.8GHz boost.
On the other-hand, this is just from geekbench, and many people reported that the C910 was surprisingly slow in real world compilation task, while the SiFive U74 performed a lot better than in comparison than geekbench would suggest.

Also good to see more working silicon from SiFive and others. For now though a killer app seems to be license-free soft cores and embedded.
