Developing the RISC-V Framework Laptop Mainboard [video]

Deep Computing, a startup based in Hong Kong, has collaborated with Framework HQ to develop the first third-party RISC-V based main board for laptops. This initiative was completed in a short timeframe and emphasizes the advantages of RISC-V, an open instruction set architecture that offers more flexibility and control than proprietary architectures such as x86 and ARM. The governance and standardization of RISC-V are overseen by RISC-V International, which facilitates the proposal and development of extensions through a committee process.
