Comment on Framework Laptop 13 is Getting a Drop-In RISC-V Mainboard Option

My knowledge of RISC-V is limited, but wouldn’t such a replacement degrade performance of the laptop to a crawl, since risc-v is still not great on that?

I guess you just read the headline and then commented huh

The performance (or lack thereof) in the StarFive JH7110 chip is something Framework mention in their blog announcement, explaining:

We want to be clear that in this generation, it is focused primarily on enabling developers, tinkerers, and hobbyists to start testing and creating on RISC-V. The peripheral set and performance aren’t yet competitive with our Intel and AMD-powered Framework Laptop Mainboards

  Yep. When there is no real description other than a link and a headline I put in about as much effort as the poster.

Pretty much. If I could get a lock on a price, I might buy one as a glorified Raspberry Pi and stick it in one of those Cooler Master cases for fun and testing.
