well, thanks to some questioning last month we worked out a way to increase (negotiate) power up to 10W, and i am working on a proposal / concept to get an 8-core 64-bit RISC-V SoC produced. we cannot rely on the incumbent SoC manufacturers to operate in an ethical framework: they just don't understand the concept and it's not important for them. they take the easy way out because that's *more profitable*. i think they're going to get a bit of a shock when the world's first 8-core RISC-V processor comes out, regardless of who makes it. l. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list [email protected] http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to [email protected]
