DeepComputing Unveil RISC-V AI PC Running Ubuntu 24.04

Ubuntu is one of the leading Linux distributions for RISC-V hardware thanks to Canonical’s strategic partnerships with companies like DeepComputing – who just announced their powerful new RISC-V AI PC running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC is built around the new company’s new RISC-V Mainboard II, designed for use in the Framework 13″ or 14.2″ laptops. Owning a Framework laptop is not a requirement since a nifty enclosure allows the mainboard to be used like a regular PC. The DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC—apologies for the caps, its how it’s stylised—uses ESWIN’s advanced RISC-V AI SoC EIC7702X—sorry for even more

Pricing and availability are still under wraps. Are you excited about this RISC-V-powered AI module? Let’s discuss your thoughts! #BananaPi #RISC-V #AIComputing

I wonder how DEC Alpha compares to RISC-V, given the age gap. #risc

Over 250 billion Arm chips have shipped since the first #ARM1 processor launched 40 years ago
ARM1 #CPU ended up being a pioneering #RISC chip, featuring just 6,000 gates, while modern Arm processors feature more than 100 million.
Arm admits that the signature quality of its chips – their energy efficiency – was driven out of frugality they couldn't afford ceramic chip packaging so had to be very strict about efficiency, so plastic packaging would be acceptable.

Angelina Jolie Was Right About Computers | WIRED

｢ China’s top scientists have heralded RISC-V as a path to silicon independence. India just used RISC-V to make its first homemade microprocessor. Name a country; it’s probably experimenting with RISC-V. Brazil sent a record 25 delegates to the RISC-V summit ｣

Atari Jaguar news: This year, there is another JagJam and I'm hoping to see some great, creative new titles for the Jaguar again. The deadline for submissions is October, 31st, which gives devs half a year to make something. So if you are looking for a programming challenge or want to support the jam by spreading the word, please feel free to do so! Cheers!

Loving the days when I get the IPX Up and running (scheduled function test any 6 months)

In the grand tradition of tech announcements dripping with self-importance, behold the RVA23 Profile! An "epoch-defining" #milestone for the five people who know what #RISC-V is, and for the rest of us, it's another excuse to feign interest in processor jargon while pretending we understand what "ratified specifications" actually mean.

Ah yes, because rewriting #microcode to run #RISC-V on #AMD #CPUs is *definitely* something everyone has on their weekend to-do list. What's next, trying to make a toaster run Crysis?

Back in the UK after 8 years or so, heading to Cambridge for the CHERI Blossoms conference tomorrow! It's 12 degrees and sunny, that's pretty unusual for this time of year... . Looking forward to a slice of pizza at Aromi!

#Europe bets on #RISC-V for homegrown supercomputing platform

"Do you #DARE? Europe bets once again on RISC-V for #supercomputing #sovereignty
€240M found for three-year sprint to develop three chiplets for #HPC, #AI"

If the #EU would take this serious, that should have been Billions instead if Millions. And not a 3y sprint.

This would be really worth the investment. We need much more than that. Yesterday.

Back in all it's glory ...
