"SiFive has launched a high-end "P650" core for up to 16-core SoCs
that features the latest RISC-V Hypervisor spec, one of 15 that
were just ratified by RISC-V Int'l. Meanwhile, Andes speeds up its
Linux-friendly AndesCore 45MP and NX27V cores.
In the run up to next week's RISC-V Summit in San Francisco,
several RISC-V organizations have some news to share. SiFive has
unveiled a previously teased SiFive Performance P650 CPU core that
it claims outperforms Cortex-A77, the Arm architecture used on the
Snapdragon 865. The Linux-focused P650 supports the Hypervisor
extension, one of 15 new RISC-V specs announced this week by RISC-V
International, the Switzerland-based organization that oversees
RISC-V. Other Linux-related RISC-V news includes a performance
improvement for Andes' AndesCore 45MP and NX27V cores (see farther
below).
The report suggests that while the RISC-V market will continue to
boom, driven in part by China's interest in silicon independence
