> at the RISC-V Zurich conference next week

Curiously this session is only 15 minutes long. June 11, 17:45 - 18:00, by Krste Asanovic.

Nevertheless it is quite promising:

"Vector Extension 0.7. The vector extensions have reached a major milestone with the release of version 0.7, which is intended for widespread implementation and comment".

Excellent news.
