LinuxカーネルもRISC-V32/64対応が進む中、UbuntuからRISC-V64（８コア）なLaptopのアナウンスが：

Canonical has announced that it’s collaborating on a RISC-V laptop powered by Ubuntu.
The 14-inch DC-ROMA RISC-V Laptop II is made by DeepComputing, a company formed by self-described “RISC-V pioneers” back in 2022, and based in Hong Kong. Their aim: develop and release all kinds of products to help drive development of the RISC-V ecosystem.
DC-ROMA II SPECS
Display: 14-inch IPS 1920×1080 60 Hz SoC: SpacemiT K1 64-bit RISC-V X60 (8-core @ 2 GHz) NPU: AI Fusion Engine (@ 2 TOPS) RAM: 16 GB LPDDR4X Storage: TBA Networking: Wi-Fi 6
Bluetooth 5.2Ports: 2x USB 3.0
2x USB Type-C
3.5mm audio
MicroSD slot
10 Pin portBattery: 8 Hours Weight: 1.36 Kg Price: TBA It’s built around a SpacemiT K1 SoC, which has 8 64-bit RISC-V cores running up to 2.0 GHz. It supports the RVA 22 Profile and 256-bit RVV 1.0 standard for “high performance” & “powerful AI capabilities”.
The 14-inch display pushes a FHD resolution at 60hz, and buyers get 16GB of memory. The laptop chassis is all-metal for a durable and premium feel, and heat flow is improved over the first-gen model.
The (unnamed) GPU supports OpenCL 3.0, OpenGL ES3.2, Vulkan 1.2, and the VPU can handle H.265, H.264, VP9, and VP8 encoding/encoding at up to 4K.
As RISC-V is still (for now) a developer-orientated platform a 10-pin port with GPIO pins is accessible on the side of this device.
Ports-wise, the DC-ROMA RISC-V Laptop II offers a pair of USB 3.0; a pair of USB Type-C (only 1 is full-function); and a flush microSD card slot.
There’s a 3.5mm audio jack, reset and fastboot ‘pin hole’ buttons, a 1080p webcam, and Wi-Fi 6 & Bluetooth 5.2 are onboard.
Ubuntu ships as the default OS on this laptop, but it is a custom version of Ubuntu 23.10.
Official support for Ubuntu 23.10 ends July 11, 2024. Will an LTS upgrade be available at some point to help ensure the longevity (and security) of it? Let’s hope!
引用おわり。14inch,1.36kg,RISC-V64@2Ghz 8-core,16GB,NPU@2TOPSつきで価格未定、らしい。技適の問題と円安の現在では結構なお値段になりそうだが、RISC-V64の公式サポートが始まっているのは注目したい（買えなくても：）処ではある。
まあ、個人的にはLinuxレベルなら正直ARMでもｘ６４でも何でも良いのですが。サポート終了なプロセサの末路を知っている身としては（MIPSとか、Powerとか：）。
