Great review. Clearly only of use to RISC-V developers, but with framework partnering with other board makers now, I can see an ARM board in a Framework laptop being a lot more popular.
I'm surprised you were able to build Llama. As far as I know, the JH7110 doesn't have an NPU or vector extension. So even if Llama is working, it's going to be very, very slow. Unless they manage to speed things up with scalar instructions.
Are you misremembering the Pi 5's stress-ng score? I just ran that exact stress-ng test on my pi5 and got scores of 6138, 6114, and 6120 (i ran it 3 times lol). Granted I have a slight overclock to 2.8ghz and the new faster memory timings but that can't be a 7x performance boost lol.
I dropped $1500 on the first DC Roma laptop and it’s pretty trash. I would’ve liked to purchase this motherboard and framework laptop if it had a better CPU. I’m sure most enthusiasts already have a StarFive Vision 2
This is an expensive adventure of a RISC-V 4 core chip that lack the standards of the day.. suh as dual SSD/NVME drives, an expanded keyboard and the high-light of the pointer nub that could be attained in Lenovo and HP laptops. The in case battery is also a real big disappointment as I would expect dual removable batteries. Standard model with only 8Gb is a real step back to the past and makes one wonder why some-one does not just use AMD's Ryzen CPUs .. and the lack of the Lightening port and video card with at least 4GB is terminal for this low value design. AI not enabled to any known extent.. I have noted the Dell has offered to share their DRAM configuration, something that this archaic design totally misses on.
This is good news. Framework and Risc-V

It's just cpp
@@r0galik faster and slightly more expensive one is coming in March, which i heard too.
26:30 "BIOS" huh? no. What is the output on UART serial connection?
Pack it up ARM, your days are numbered
I would say not yet, but in the next 5-10 years for sure
@@Sithhy I mean, 3650 is also a _number_ :D
Have you tried orange pi 4A. It have eight core A53 and riscV co processor.
It has 8x cortex a55 1.49 + 1.4 ghz
Ordered weeks ago and waiting on international snail mail lol

Deserves a re-test once you get the gpu acceleration work properly. Thanks anyway.
Nice job reviewing this.
Is it plastic or aluminium case?
Aluminum
@@TechnicallyUnsure Cool! Awesome!

That was the same CPU JH7110? Can you send a patch to U-Boot and Linux upstream adding support?
Powered by the RISC-V 64-bit Quad-core CPU JH7110 - performance Cortex-A53 ha ha ha - thanks
I'll wait until nvme appears on mb
I think on riscv there is just the openSBI shell, to get to which you need to invoke it pretty much instantly after boot.
U-Boot command line shell? Possible over serial UART however that is done on the Framework.
Cool but performance was like 50 times far away from what framework base system cost 😂
You want to develop with 8gb of memory ? If your crazy, i'm not. It take 16gb memory.
At the very high asking price, god no.
