🎉 Oh wow, #RVA23 has finally toppled Speculation's tyrannical reign in #RISC-V CPUs! Because nothing screams cutting-edge like an impenetrable wall of buzzwords and vendor names that no one asked for. 🙄 #GameChanger #zzzz

RVA23 Ends Speculation’s Monopoly in RISC-V CPUs - Semiwiki

RVA23 marks a turning point in how mainstream CPUs are expected to scale performance. By making the RISC-V Vector Extension (RVV) mandatory, it elevates structured, explicit parallelism to the same architectural status as scalar execution. Vectors are no longer optional accelerators bolted onto speculation-heavy cores. They are baseline capabilities that software can rely on. RVA23…

It's very exiting to see that #riscv laptops with #RVA23 are on the way!

Much rides on how #RVV handles it. As the CPU inexorably shift to #RISC-V #RVA23 the arrays of tiles, tensors of takums, etc, need to get handled in pipelines not buses. Most of our data wait time is for NPUs so I expect them to go right on storage planes with converters github.com/takum-arithm...

China using Iran example to harden their own defenses. #OperationMossad updates Iran to improve #digital_sovereignty to get rid of anything with #IsraelInside or #AmericaInside, eg #intelinside would be both! Closely related is Chinas push to #RVA23 and domestic software that it shares with BRICS.

This upcoming mainboard brings a SpacemiT K3 RISC-V (RVA23) chip to the Framework Laptop

The Framework Laptop 13 is a modular mobile computer with a user-replaceable mainboard. And while most of the mainboard options to date have featured Intel or AMD processors, there are also a few Framework Mainboards with RISC-V processors.

After launching a mainboard with a StarFive JH7110 processor early last year, Deep Computing released a higher-performance model with an ESWIN 7702X […]

Canonical and SpacemiT team up for Ubuntu on SpacemiT K1 and K3 RISC-V chips

Chinese RISC-V chip maker SpacemiT is partnering with Canonical to bring Ubuntu to computers powered by two of the company’s processors.

The Spacemit K1 is an 8-core RISC-V processor that’s been around for a little while, but the SpacemiT K3 is a newer, higher-performance chip that’s one of the first to comply with the new RVA23 standard.

That’s important because starting with Ubuntu 25.10, […]
