Decent enough processors, AFAICT.
Nothing that matches my i5-8350
Well yes the peformance ceraintly hasn't caught up yet to x86 but the strongest riscv cpu on the market as far as I know has 64 cores on 2ghz. More then enough to run a desktop.
Yeah, I've been watching. I'm waiting with baited breath when I can start using the machines for day to day. Not what I'd use a SBC for. I guess when there's a ThinkPad that has R-5 I'll really take notice.
Framework sells a laptop with an R5 board. They warn it's intended for developers and slower than a Raspberry Pi though.
Yeah, that's what I said.
