Imagination PowerVR Driver Being Extended To Work On RISC-V

[ayumu]

The EIC7700 would be the one I would wait for

There's a buy now button for that.

And yes, it makes some sort of sense, unlike TH1520.

as predicted a month ago: https://www.phoronix.com/forums/foru...45#post1504245 ;-)

BXE-2-32 support will likely follow...

im going to wait for the lichee one to come out, the SOM nature is too attractive, I want a laptop, but I am also looking forward to the hand held assuming they havent canceled it, but IMO having open source drivers is still more important, the EIC7700 doesn't seem to have vector anyways, It's a nice cpu uplift though, I have to wait to see costs, but the EIC7700 use an AXM gpu, which I don't know the status of support for

I'd rather no vector but fast (EIC7700) or somewhat slower than TH1520 (spacemiT K1) than incompatible vector with known unfixable major security holes (TH1520 and any C906/C910 based SoC).

Of course, YMMV.

Right now I have a VisionFive2 (JH7110) I got in February 2023, and will wait for the next RVA22+V SoC, because I am not in a hurry.

I would buy spacemiT K1 if I needed something Vector today. It's not faster than JH7110 but has RVA22+V and 8 cores rather than 4, so overall an improvement.

im just sad with how slow the cores on the spacemi are for the price of them, but at least the pi3a is sane.
