"textContent": "Last year, we noted three upcoming high-performance RISC-V SoCs to watch out for: Zhihe A210, SpacemiT K3, and UltraRISC UR-DP1000. The K3 has already been launched, and I’ll work on the K3-Pico-ITX SBC/mini PC review this coming weekend, while the UR-DP1000 is (still?) expected on the Milk-V Titan motherboard. However, we did not have that many details about the Zhihe A210 so far. This has now changed since documentation has surfaced for the Zhihe A210 and a development kit (A210 SODIMM V2) based on a carrier board and a system-on-module itself powered by the octa-core RISC-V processor. Let’s have a look at both. Zhihe A210 octa-core RISC-V SoC Zhihe A210 specifications: CPU – Octa-core RISC-V RV64GCV processor 4x 64-bit RISC-V C920 cores @ up to 2.3 GHz with 64 KB I Cache and 64 KB D Cache for each core, 1 MB L2 cache; note: 1.9 GHz is also shown [...]\n\nThe post Zhihe A210 octa-core RISC-V SoC with 12 TOPS NPU powers SoM-based development board appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News.",
