This is the reason behind the profiles like RVA23 which include bitmanip, vector and a large number of other extensions. Real chips coming very soon will all be RVA23.

Neat. I can't wait to get my hands on a devboard.

The earlierst I know of coming is the SpaceMit K3, which Sipeed will have dev boards for.

The Milk-V Jupiter 2 (coming out in April) is RV23 too

Nice board but very low on max RAM.

The Milk-V Titan (https://milkv.io/titan) can take up to 64GB which is fine considering the number of cores and the cost of RAM. If you needed and could afford more RAM you'd be better off distributing the work across more than one board.

I simply want to replace my desktop with open hardware. That board would be fine, thank you for the pointer.

Unfortunately they found a bug and had to redesign the boards. I've had one of these on pre-order since last year. Latest is I think they're intending to ship them next month (April).

The SpacemiT K3 (https://www.spacemit.com/products/keystone/k3 https://www.cnx-software.com/2026/01/23/spacemit-k3-16-core-...) is the one everyone is waiting for. We have one in house (as usual, cannot discuss benchmarks, but it's good). Unfortunately I don't think there is anyone reputable offering pre-orders yet.

Ok! I will keep an eye out. It is one of the most interesting developments for me hardware wise in the last decade, and I definitely want to show my support by buying one or more of the boards. Respin is always really annoying this late in, the post mortem on that must make for interesting reading.

You're super lucky to have your hands on one!
