* enter RISC-V *
This is the most powerful RISC-V platform you can buy today. It comes as a Mini-ITX board including 16Gb of DDR4 ram, 1Gbps ethernet, usb 3.2, PCI Express and NVMe.
Of course it is less powerful than an x64 machine at the same price point, but it should work reasonably well when paired with an SSD and a graphics card.
Nowadays I just check the benchmarks of a CPU to have a rough idea of it's performance.
I mean this does forget the point that absolutely nothing is stopping anyone making a riscv processor which also has such features; we just have to take the manufacturer’s word that they don’t? Riscv isn’t the solution to any of these problems, but hopefully it’ll enable a few more ethical manufacturers to pop up who do make this stuff their core mission.
Probably not, though.
