5 years ago was Apple M1/M2 and AMD Zen 3. What RISC-V cores are remotely competitive with that?
- acutelittlebox 2mo agofrom my understanding there's the SiFive P870, Tenstorrent Ascalon X, and Condor Computing Cuzco among others
- sylware 2mo agoAll on latest silicon process?
- acutelittlebox 2mo agono, i'm talking about the core designs, not finished CPUs you could buy. using a leading-edge node is prohibitively expensive so nearly everything RISC-V i've seen has been using around 22nm to 12nm nodes. if you had an example of any of those cores in a finished product on a similar node they should be competitive, and in the meantime once people can get their hands on them you could test them against each other at low clock speeds to see how they compare.
- sylware 2mo agoThen if I understood well what you said: the main bottleneck for many of those RISC-V microarchitectures is the access to the best silicon process. (ofc, they will have to optimize them for this node process)
