Risc 5 development board

Powering Beagle V is a dual core 64-bit U74 RISC-V CPU clocked at 1.5 GHz and up to 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM. From a CPU perspective Beagle V looks to be slightly faster than a Raspberry Pi 4, but looking at the StarFive JH7100 System on Chip (SoC) we can see a Tensilica-VP6 used in computer vision projects, an Nvidia Deep Learning Accelerator (NVDLA) used for artificial intelligence and finally a Neural Network Engine. All of these point towards a board that looks on paper to be quite the AI / machine learning powerhouse. Best of all Beagle V is a purely open source product, with both the hardware and the software offered under an open source licence. … [Read more...] about RISC-V Powered BeagleV Board Announced Via New Collaboration

Developing GPUs is a very tricky task. These processors tend to be extremely complex in terms of transistor count, and they also feature distinct subsystems and a multifaceted software stack. It remains to be seen how many of these new GPU projects will actually be a success. Still, it is pretty obvious that with Intel and several new entrants, AMD and Nvidia will face considerably more competition in the next couple of years than they have in the last couple of decades. … [Read more...] about The Golden Age of Graphics?

Adafruit's Itsy Bitsy range of boards are a smaller form factor to the Feather, but Adafruit have still managed to squeeze the RP2040 into a board. The Itsy Bitsy RP2040 is still in early development and the final design may vary, but in the video, Fried hints that this board may come with castellated pads, in a similar design choice to the Raspberry Pi Pico. … [Read more...] about Adafruit To Add ‘Pi Silicon’ To Their Boards

With the news of the Raspberry Pi Pico still fresh in our minds, we see that Arduino are also releasing their own board, a board that is based upon Raspberry Pi's new RP2040 SoC, as confirmed by Arduino co-founder and chairman Massimo Banzi and CEO Fabio Violante. … [Read more...] about Arduino To Release Board Based on Raspberry Pi Silicon

Intel's press release also states that "the company has made strong progress on its 7nm process technology and will provide an update on its Jan. 21 earnings call."our recent interview with Swan, he told us that it's possible that Intel could license process node technology from a competitor, and use it in its own fabs. … [Read more...] about Intel CEO Bob Swan to Step Down, Replaced by VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger
