Does the ESWIN CPU on this board support the H-extension? I've seen a variety of boards based on this P550 advertise themselves differently as RV64GC, GCB, and GCBH. For example, the Milk-V Megrez is advertised as RV64GCBH, but given that it's the same CPU as the SiFive and some others like Pine64 starpro64, neither of which advertise the H-extension, it's not clear exactly what version of the ISA is truly supported.

I'm curious about the video test. I see the connection speed is lower. If you connect it directly with Ethernet, what does it look like? I'm curious. Also, with a Wi-Fi 7 router, how does it hold up with the wireless connection speed? Thank you for your thorough videos. I'm well-informed because of them.

If you'd like to test single and all core compression speed, you could use gzip and the parallel implementation pigz.

As a dev plateform ? Its manuality is overwelming . You got to manually authorise everything . Cookie of the risk v china stuf . Impressive ? Yes . But most will have long forgotten how to . Pre ms days are long gone
@beauslim Says:
Wow, just noticed you crossed the 1M sub mark. Congrats!
@virtuous-sloth Says:
Does anyone know what those board components labelled Tn are? I'm talking about the brown cylinders with the metal loop at the top.
When I look up PCB component labelling standards two of them both say Tn is for transformers, but these components don't look line any transformer I'm aware of.
It almost looks like the loops could be pulled out as some way of disconnecting/isolating some subsection of the board.
@UriahStuff Says:
Will you look at the Framework Risc-V board?
@RafaCoringaProducoes Says:
For anyone wondering: yes jeff gerling will post a riscv+gpu in 2weeks lol
@seanplynch Says:
Big fan of your channel! There’s a recent resurgence in interest of “new retro” 8 bit computers. I think it would be great if you covered the mega65, the foenix f256k or the commander x16. I suspect you’ll find them all very interesting!
@choirulabidin9890 Says:
I hope for Radeon and ARC GPU Will be compatible as soon as possible.
@kitastro Says:
wow is this... actually usable! impressed :3
@netadmin002 Says:
Hi Chris, Thank you for all your great videos and detailed information. Would you mind helping me understand why more SBC are not utilizing the power of POE++ for edge computing? Maybe they are and I have not yet seen your videos or product pages showing this as an optional power source. Thanks in advance and thanks again for all the great content!!
@lesliedellow1533 Says:
The problem RISC-V is going to have in winning wide adoption in consumer PCs is that Microsoft is unlikely to be releasing a version of Windows for it any time soon. So it is only likely to find market share amongst the relatively small number of Linux desktop/laptop users. Although it might have less trouble making its way into tablets and smart phones I suppose.
@daviddaniel1001 Says:
This has emmc storage and is it as slow as a hard drive?
@JustLearnWithME-314 Says:
Hifive has 4 cores compared to 8 in Jupiter, it has smaller clock speed
Is this difference in performance is due to single core performance or because of poor optimization of Bianbu?
Can we see comparison of each individual core in various architectures and their technical details
Comparing , let’s say, sifive CPUs with ARM cores like X1 or A76
Or trying to find x86 cores with similar performance level
Best regards!
@iskamag Says:
I remember testing SpaceMIT's K1 and got a similar performance issue. I tried a mega drive emulator and it was consistently choppy, and unplayable with integer scaling.
The CPU seems to be highly bottlenecked by memory performance, making any software rendering (i.e krita) extremely slow.
So if it's 8fps for just 240p it's no wonder how 4K painting brings the cores to their knees.

Thank you from ATL.
@robertmordzon1475 Says:
Can you run Geekbench6 and share results?
There is a version(preview) of Geekbench6 for RISC-V.
@TimelessX974 Says:
Question: is the version of ubuntu you are using compiled narivatively on the risc-V instructions or does it run in emulation?
@karllelliott681 Says:
Excellent content Chris! I have been watching your videos for a short while now and whilst a decades old enthusiast myself, I must say I just love your approach. A hybrid of sesame street (Stanley the knife and Mr scissors) & open university presenter with the look of a hitman distributed occasionally and menacingly :)
Much better than I could do I am sure.
If anyone ever needs a no no nonsense, accurate and fun introduction to 'all things computing' then I would definitely recommend your channel going forwards to them!
Keep up the good work please, Oh and happy new year!
@Ian-q7r Says:
Hi Chris, I'm tempted to buy a "HiFive Premier P550" after seeing your review. You mentioned an empty WiFi slot but some of your review included appraising WEB performance, so, I assume that you fitted a WiFi board or ..... Please can you confirm (including specifications of board used)? Thanks, Ian

I am excited to see Risc-V architecture come about in the open ISA form and it seems to be excellent as well I am wondering where this will be useful and not useful
@patriciaoudart1508 Says:
❤😊Funny you still use XP and win7, me too but I was thinking I'm dated. This is relevant for me for writing and for music vsti, for flight simulator, and because I can't install my synths/sound hardware cards and box, apps, on new computers, if built for XP. I keep also old apple because I can't purchase new app or updates for them, so they stay as they are, I can't buy a new computer every year or a new app that will last one or two years. I uses more and more google tablets and the phone as a wifi server from 4/5G. My music computers are for offline work , mostly, as Android synthesizer apps, for music, midi, recording, and I try to have at low price some apple tablets as my music instrument have often a joint software that expands the physical buttons. All in all I keep two Wn 10, four WinXP desktop one Ipad, one Apple G5 flat one G5 heavy laptop, two XP laptops, one Win7 desktop with word for writing, drawing, video, sound studio, but I have to reinstall an other desktop with Win10 to do the same, or perhaps should I downgrade to Win7, that's a question because for me like you Win7 was better. Tablets as now writing a comment, are for Youtube mostly, and I'm interested to know about buying a smart TV, so is this better to only search a normal modern TV without it and mount a computer with Google op syst ? What about security on those two? Back doors?. In my studio, a very big screen is very interesting but also touch screens as most virtual Synths and Music apps have a lot of buttons to turn, slide, touch. So this makes useful to integrate lot screens, as tablets are, big screens for computer studio app or video app.. I hope in few years everything will be more easy, because between USB, sound in, out, midi cables, video cables, power cables, this is a mess. Ideal would be everything retro-compatible, and all touch screens, with all operative systems, but for now it is a dream. I have for collection two old desktop one Win 95, one Win 98.
The last thing, tablet are useful because keyboard is virtual, I'm using internet in French , English, Russian, Bulgarian, and Turkish, so I don't need stickers over a physical keyboard, an other reason why for me a win 7, 10, compatible touch screen would be an amazing idea to add to Windows. I don't use Linux because I don't find enough relevant compatible music applications for this system.

Nice board with some interesting performance. Form factor with a full-size PCI-E slot makes me wonder if any modern graphics work on this, for instalce a RTX 3050 or similar AMD.
@wingchong68 Says:
we got another one Radxa Orion O6. this one looks awesome also. happy New year 🎊
@MagioneUmbria Says:
If we are evaluating where RISCV is going then my assessment is that it is:
- going to a place where it cannot compete with other RISC computers (Mac Mini)
- hampered by the usual vendor position of not supporting the GPU
@Aleks48482 Says:
It's fun to see at 5:56 the STM32F407VET6 microcontroller on ARM® Cortex™-M4, which is not mentioned and whose labeling is so carefully erased, but without which, obviously, this board on RISC V would not work .

I would love a video about the new Nvidia Jetson Orion nano computer. It's very expensive but still an SBC. How fast is it compared to the Raspberry pi
@MikeSwift.v1 Says:
RISC-V is greater competitor to ARM than it is to x86.

Its wild to think you only have 1 million subscribers. No fancy editing just good guy telling you everything you need to know about something.
@thevintagecomputer Says:
Thanks for the review! Looks like it's at a point now where it's fit for everyday use.I wonder though why the 4 x 1.4Ghz outperform 8 x 1.8 Ghz - is the eswin 7700 a so much more efficient RISC V implementation? Would be great if you could talk about that in one of your next videos.
@patrickcecil1229 Says:
How did you install GIMP on this system? I have a StarFive RISC-V single board computer running Debian and the Gimp website only lists x86-64 and AAarch-64 as choices for Linux. Did you have to compile from source? Thanks for the wonderful information you always present on this channel. You have inspired me to make a Pi Pico weather station and get a RISC-V computer to try out. Always learn something here and look forward every week to see what new things you will show us!
@Bob-of-Zoid Says:
I sure hope that RISK 5 rivals ARM, and even X86 soon! This kind of competition can mean a lot, and go a long way if there's some market fracturing into smaller pieces involved.
@innstikk Says:
Hope you have a nice 2025!

Hi Christopher which board could buy instead pi4 or pi 5 to run Magicmirror2 on please reply. Small with case fit back of 27in monitor.
