Very impressive results for RISC-V. A board that's capable of running an OS with a graphical desktop environment is an amazing achievement. I hope SiFive manages to get the price down soon so that it becomes competitive!
@@ValianTheRELover Nope, but I might just for the fun of it. I might also wait a little to see what they make after the unmatched, since I have no need for it yet.
@@marijnstollenga1601 same I wanna buy this in the next few years because the support will definitely be great, for now I also don't really have a clear use case for the computers... Just for rust programming. Maybe when flutter supports riscv I'm gonna consider it
Combine a full-blown RISC-V core, that can run an operating system, and eight RISC-V cores with large vector units and you get a modern Cell-like processor!
the speed is fine for many raspi purposes, the current major turnoff is the price.. i'd probably be willing to pay ~200 € for a fully open source raspi, but not 1k..
Since there is still no RISC-V GNU/Linux capable boards with not insane price (1000$ cpu board + 2000$ FPGA board for GPU), what is the cheapest FPGA board, where you can map RISC-V cpu and run full Debian or Fedora?
Wow, this video is 2 years old and RUclips is only just now recommending this to me, yet it won't stop bombarding me with stupid mainstream nonsense I don't ever look up and always hit dislike on. Love the video, this is severely underrated. I feel the guys pain at the beginning, the Instagram staff isn't nearly talented enough to be worth a billion, but that's just the messed up world we live in.
Three years ago 180 nm was questionable, but now and probably in the next years we got a fat chip shortage. RISC-V might use that to its advantage though. It is nearly impossible to scale up modern gpu and x86 cpus designs in a backstep to bigger but available, old nm lithography processes. The heat output and power waste would be way too much. But with more efficient RISC-V designs there might be a way to compensate that.
I think it had to do with costs and time of release, the tinier Micro was easier to get for me, than those powerull ones, so I guess with 180nm they where able to cheaply make em. smaller sizes are ofcourse comming, meaning maybe more cores or tinier packages :D
i had no idea it could run a modern graphical OS already. awesome. :)
all it needs is a video out some performant hardware (not really an issue) and a compiler :P

This stuff is history in the making! I'm almost tempted to buy one; will wait till the price drops a bit from 1k
have you bought one yet? the hifive unmatched board is $600 afaik and it's more powerful than hifive unleashed

Improve speed and make the next raspberry use RISC-V !

Dont go just raspberry, I hope full computers, mainframes, GPU's, everything should be RISCV :P
while you're waiting, use lattepanda

Pretty sure RISC-V can now support Linux along with plenty of Linux packages.

make a SBC with this $50 - $100 with 100% free software
I just want windows and Android support
dude dont beg for claps. its lame. you've already done a good job. if they dont get it, get over it.
Why 180nm for your microcontroller?

$1k board with limited connectivity... yeah you are well on you way to attracting a developer base.... /s obviously
I've never been so excited and so let down in such a short period before!
Don't waste our time.
