A $0.03 RISC-V microcontroller brings an Acer N30 PDA back to life

> the CH32V003 is ridiculously cheap – like you can buy 50 of them for $1.45

I'm not sure how they saw that price. Has to be some kind of new new user one-time special. Following their link I saw $2.65 logged out, and once I was logged in $4.78 -- all for "50Pcs CH32V003A4M6" (the 8 pin package)

Of course 9.56c each is still cheap for something that is about the same speed as an i486SX, just with a lot less RAM (2k).

Putting question aside, RISC-V is the answer.
