Pine64 StarPro64 single-board PC with a RISC-V processor and 20 TOPS NPU arrives this month
The StarPro64 is a single-board computer with a quad-core RISC-V processor, hardware-accelerated graphics and support for 8K video playback, and an NPU that delivers nearly 20 TOPS of AI performance.
First unveiled last fall, Pine64 now says StarPro64 should be available for purchase before the end of April.
The board measures 133 x 80 x 19mm (5.24″ x 3.15″ x 0.75″) and features a PCIe x4 […]
I just got Wasm3 running on the Milk V Duo. Used the defualt wasm3 example and make file. Just setup the offical Milk V toolcahin and ran make.

Never underestimate the impact of open source on long-term development in innovation in hardware and software.
I remember discussions claiming that RISC-V would never compete with other processors, and so on. It reminds me of the discussions in the late nineties where people said Linux was nice but would never compete with SunOS, AIX, or HP/UX.
People should focus on RISC-V, not just ARM or other proprietary architecture.
Looking at recent changes and RISC-V evolutions:

The original open source design is based on https://github.com/olofk/serv SERV - The SErial RISC-V CPU made by Olof Kindgren
When Prof. Krste Asanović and graduate student Yunsup Lee started the open-source project 10 years ago, I suppose they didn’t expect such an impact today. And it seems to be just the beginning.
Did some tinkering last night and got a RISC-V ESP32 hosting a small website using bare metal Rust¹ over Wi-Fi.

El mes passat, un grup de seguretat de Google va descobrir una vulnerabilitat a algunes CPU AMD que els deixava modificar el microcodi.
Ara els xinesos investiguen d'executar codi per a Risc-V en una CPU de AMD

I've been interviewed byt RISE (#riscv ecosystem project by the Linux Foundation) because people like what I do or something:

I used the opportunity to talk about Free Software vs Open Source.
I think that was the best place to mention why I prefer to use Free Software rather than Open Source.
They accepted that I changed the questions. 
I'm starting to believe I'm a GNU Hacker really.

Chinese scientists develop world's most complex 1-nanometre thick 2D semiconductor chip with 5,900 transistors.
The chip built on the open-source RISC-V architecture, can execute programs containing up to 1 billion RISC instructions.
The chip is now preparing to enter pilot-scale production, with around 70% of its fabrication steps able to be integrated into existing silicon-based production lines.

China’s RiVAI Technologies just launched the Lingyu CPU, its first homegrown high-performance RISC-V server chip. It features a one-core, dual architecture approach, integrating 32 general-purpose computing cores and eight specialized intelligent computing cores.
RiVAI’s 50+ partners (Lenovo, SenseTime) are pushing RISC-V to break Western tech dependence. With gov backing, China’s open-source chip revolution is here.
