You can get vectorized instructions from Microchip at a much higher price point in a few months on RISCV with the forthcoming $1500ish Devboard - it has some nice specs, 10GigE https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/microprocessors/64-bit-mpus/pic64hx https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/microprocessors/64-... This is similar to the High Performance Space Computer which will be coming out in Rad Hardened & Rad Tolerant versions, I think these devboards will be 40k-60k https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/microprocessors/64-bit-mpus/pic64-hpsc https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/microprocessors/64-... There is also a lower end 4 core unit too, list price for the devkit is $150, currently shipping. https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/microprocessors/64-bit-mpus/pic64gx https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/microprocessors/64-...

Where did you get the $1500? That's an insane price for something which will perform similarly to the BPI-F3. It has double the DLEN, but it also only runs at 1GHz, while the BPI-F3 is available at 1.6GHz and 1.8GHz for way cheaper. > There is also a lower end 4 core unit too, list price for the devkit is $150, currently shipping. This is an entirely different processor, the now very old SiFive U54 at 0.6GHz.

  Apologies, I was incorrect. The price is $2895 listed, which is still a great deal.

The latter seems to only be RV64GC, meaning no vector instructions, right? Your first link though, based on PIC64HX, seems to be what I'm waiting for. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks!

  The HX has vector instructions, the GX doesn't.
