Info and pre-orders in their store page: DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC, RISC-V Mainboard II for Framework Laptop 13 – DeepComputing
Looks like a big step up from gen 1.
Just saw this too, quite exciting as JH7110 is really a bit outdated by now.
I’m surprised it’s both vector instruction compatible and out-of-order (didn’t think those chips existed yet)!

TomsHardware apparently thinks that it’s a EsWin EIC7702X.
Edit: https://www.eswincomputing.com/en/bocupload/2024/06/19/1718792113959fd7u8.pdf The is the specification sheet of the abovementioned CPU.
The EIC7702X seems to be the same family of CPUs as the one that the HiFive P550 uses. Those are benchmarked here:
Single core spec performance is roughly 90% that of a Arm A73 core through some quick calculations.

40TOPS at $299, but no mentioning of debug expansion port
Only if you stay disconnected at all time or the AI application is FOSS, so it won’t send data to someone else’s computer behind your back
What about power efficiency or how much runtime on a 61Wh battery?

The other SBC that uses this (HiFive P550) runs at a constant 15W because it never clocks below 1.4 GHz (TBP). It also has half the cores. If DC’s mainboard has twice the cores and clocks at 2 GHz I don’t image the power being great!
Hopefully power management exists for this chip!

Mere weeks after the first one releases, they decide to introduce another one. Seriously?
Really wish I’d have known the drastically improved one was going to release so soon so I could have skipped the first one.

Not excited about the soldered ram but otherwise this seems exciting. Hopefully they don’t price gouge the 64GB model.

To be fair, they’ve been up front about a newer version being released in 2025.
Which considering this is coming out in Q3, this board is deep into that window.
