Ditching Intel for a system-on-chip out of Beijing
SiFive has promised the world another HiFive RISC-V development system featuring a 64-bit out-of-order processor for engineers and other curious techies to try out.
If the Premier P550 goes on general sale before the moribund Pro P550, we guess SiFive's claim that the Premier is"the first commercially available out-of-order RISC-V development board" may hold true. That's carefully caveated because, while there are other out-of-order RISC-V cores out there in one form or another, they may not be available on commercialized dev boards specifically built for those chips that people can just buy and play with.
That EIC7700 chip contains a cluster of four SiFive-provided P550 cores, plus an OpenGL ES 3-compatible GPU capable of 3D and 2D acceleration, hardware video encoding and decoding, support for various peripherals, a DSP, and a neural processing unit that presumably makes up for the lack of vector math extension support in the CPU cores.
