16 gb of non-upgradeable ram seems a little light, but I'm not familiar with RISC. I would like to get one to play with tho.

RISC is only for tinkering at this point.

Didn't someone get Debian running on a Talos II workstation?

Granted, that's tinkering, but getting Debian to a workable state.

Fair. It'd still be nice to have upgradeable RAM, tho.

HDMI in??

Could be useful for PiKVM or equivalent.

Milk-V just keep churning these things out. I wonder what the RISC-V market looks like? I assume they're targeting business application and not hobbyists? I'm very much ignorant, and have never seen an implementation using RISC-V anywhere.

I actually ordered a Mars just yesterday but I get the feeling, after initial intrigue, that it'll be a curiosity that sits in the drawer until it eventually gets thrown away. Maybe it was a good thing Meles was sold out at the time of my order. haha

It’s the odds-on favorite for the next generation of radiation-hardened space computers (HPSC). Potential to be a 25x improvement over current capabilities. Guessing most of the use cases will be niche like that, but who knows.

It's really just for tinkering at this point, or cheap build systems I guess. There's some small edge cases where the existing instruction set will beat ARM or x86, but they're very niche. Eventually it's expected to be a contender to the more optimized stuff we see in ARM chips these days.

Usable where you would otherwise use a raspberry pi? How does it compare in computation?

[–] just_another_person 2 points 2 days ago

It's still very subjective to who is making the main CPU, but yeah. It's meant for low power applications.
