The cumulative mass production of RISC-V AI CPU K1 in Iteration Time exceeds 50,000!

As of December 2024, the cumulative mass production delivery volume of the Advanced Spacetime 8-core RISC-V AI CPU chip K1 has exceeded 50,000 units. It is the fastest mass-produced RISC-V high-computing power chip and is currently being mass-produced in multiple industries including industry, electricity, robotics, operators, and consumer electronics.

The single-board computers (SBCs) built by various ecological partners based on the K1 chip can quickly access mainstream Al large-model ecosystems such as Deepseek and Tongyi Qianwen, thanks to the innovative architecture of the RISC-V AI CPU and its 2TOPS integrated Al computing power; based on its rich PCIe, USB, GMAC, CAN-FD and other high-speed interfaces, as well as industrial-grade standard quality, it can be directly applied to network storage, industrial control, edge computing, intelligent robots, cloud computers and other fields.

I'm a fan of this simple RISC-V SoC actually.

8 core, each delivering 1.3x computation of A55 -> 50k DMIPS + 2 TOPS AI.

Uses RVV 1.0

I mean this is pretty use for running low end SBCs and edge devices.


Looks like you can Orange Pi has its won RISC-V SBC in RV2

With the streamlined RISC-V architecture and excellent micro-architecture design, the arithmetic energy efficiency breaks through the process bottleneck, and the power consumption in the same scenario is only 80% of that of ARM A55.
Provides 40K+DMIPS CPU arithmetic and 2TOPS AI arithmetic, single-core CPU arithmetic is more than 130% of ARM A55.

This reads almost like the same chip tbh

looks like Orange Pi RV2 is just using a cheaper K1

The biggest difference between the two boars is that the Orange Pi RV has a 1.5 GHz StarFive JH7110 quad-core processor, while the new Orange Pi RV2 has a an octa-core Ky X1 chip with a 2 TOPS AI accelerator.

So Orange Pi went from StarFive processor to this in RV2. Shows that StarFive really sucks and they are not particularly innovative.

btw, I would imagine quite a few chip designers will use T-Head's C930 core once that's ready.

Still need effort on AI chips.

P.S. Are there any Chinese NVLink equivalent?

Deepin Digital Intelligence preheats the second-generation Framework compatible with RISC-V motherboards, with NPU computing power of 40TOPS

The motherboard will be based on the world's first dual-chiplet RISC -V AI SoC, with eight 64-bit SiFive IP CPUs and 40 TOPS NPU computing power, supporting local operation of large language models to ensure users' full control over data. The complete computer system will be equipped with a series of key AI applications.

From the above description, this motherboard is expected to use a high-frequency variant of the Eswin EIC7702X processor . The processor's 8 cores use the SiFive Performance P550 microarchitecture, are equipped with Imagination's IMG A series GPU, and support 8K@50FPS H.265 encoding.

DeepComputing's second-generation Framework 13-compatible RISC-V motherboard will be equipped with up to 64GB of LPDDR5 memory and support NVMe SSD. This product is expected to be shipped in the third quarter of this year.

If they could produce viable chips, they could supply their own consumer electronics. Instead Samsung has to buy chips from Qualcomm and to, horror, consider using TSMC for their own design chips for smartphones.
Exactly. Their latest smartphone has no Exynos chip. They have to completely rely on Qualcomm. Samsung also struggles in DRAM and NAND allowing SK Hynix and Micron to catch-up.

, while consuming 10 per cent less energy.
“It is the fastest, most efficient transistor ever,” according to an official statement published last week on the PKU website.
