While RISC-V offers an open-source alternative to established architectures like x86 and Arm, the Framework warns that current performance and capabilities cannot match solutions from Intel and AMD. This first generation is aimed at developers and RISC-V enthusiasts rather than general users.
Media noted that despite initial capabilities (a quad-core 1.5 GHz RISC-V StarFive JH7110 SoC and limitations such as soldered memory and microSD drives), this move marked a leap in the “democratization of chip choice.”
Framework plans to share availability and pricing as development progresses.
