Banana Pi BPI-F3: Single-board computer and RISV-V alternative to the Raspberry Pi now available
The Banana Pi BPI-F3 is a new single-board computer that is now available. The system can be seen as a (strong) alternative to the Raspberry Pi and comes in two model variants.

You're viewing a single thread.
Can someone smarter than me explain what RISV-V means? How is this different than the Raspberry Pi?
RISC-5 is a CPU architecture like x86 (AMD and Intel) or ARM (Qualcomm, Apple, Samsung, Google).
It's main differences are that it is an open architecture. It is still early in it's life cycle but it's already showing promising advancement.
I'm not as well educated on this part of it but I remember reading that it is more efficient for a certain types of common calculations that have long since been an issue for x86. As noted though citation needed.
Thank you :) Also good to know it's RISC-V (five roman number).
How is it pronounced? Like every letter or more like risk-5?
The second! Thanks I'm not the most well versed on the subject but I help where I can
