This appears to be the same processor as the HiFive Premier P550 dev board. So, while this is pretty much the fastest RISC-V CPU, it is still only about as fast as a Raspberry Pi 4.

Still, RISC-V is catching up. Fast enough to be useful.

What I really want to see is the price. The HiFive board with 16 GB is $400 (pretty steep). A 16 GB Pi 5 is under $200 and of course faster.

Still, depending on price, RISC-V is becoming a viable choice. Very cool.
