It's a shame this isn't P650, which has the Hypervisor extension amongst other things (https://www.sifive.com/cores/performance-p650-670).

Look into Milk-V Oasis, that has 16x P670 + 8x X280, V extension and overall interesting specs.

Looking forward to it, when it arrives, and hopefully it's more stable than the Pioneer.

VisionFive 2 has been solid to me, and it's faster than the Pioneer.

(based on a newer revision of the same U74 core from SiFive)

I'm not sure in what world a 1.5 GHz four core machine is faster than a 64 core 2.0 GHz machine with not only 1 MB L2 cache per four cores, but 4 MB L3 cache per four cores, all 64 MB of which is usable by a single (or a few cores) when running code without many threads.

The Pioneer uses the C910 core (64 of them, as noted), not U74.

Perhaps you were thinking of the old early 2021 HiFive Unmatched?

Yup, I was.

I would have liked to see at least 8 cores for a development board like this.

It's going to be significantly faster than the 4 core boards we have now. Of course the upcoming 8 core (Banana Pi) and 16 core P670 machines will be better again, later in the year.
