簡介

RISC-V journey to success is going to be a very bumpy road, however the scale is so big if it does succeed therein worth taking any risk. RISC-V is a very powerful brand, the whole world is looking forward to its progress against existing architecture in silicon like 40 years ago Linux kernel against all the close source operating system like Windows or Unix, DeepComputing as a small startup picked the hardest job in from making the world first RISC-V laptop back in 2022 to now this year 2025 one of the most powerful AI PC having 50 TOPS which capable of running most favourable LLM models on the devices. In reality, we have to do a lot of enablements to overcome barriers across the time and space in a sequencial manner. For example, when the end user market is lacking of RISC-V products, we have to take risk to make high profile products: firstly to prove RISC-V is capable even not perfect or even not competitive to current competitors; secondly to enable our whole supply chain knowing all the problems faster and evolve. Moreover, end user product problems will give us enough focus on what to fix and whom to drive for the fix in the most cost effective way. For instance, once we know the first laptop is so slow not just because of hardware but software, then we can focus and proactively work with software partners like kernel, and OS platform and then Applications for the improvement in software ecosystem, for example, in 2024 we successfully convinced Canoncial giving RISC-V more support ever than before on Ubuntu which leads future Ubuntu release could support RISC-V by default on DeepComputing RISC-V hardware. Nevertheless, making personal computing products more interesting can bridging all these platforms to work with SoC guys for further improvement along the technology trend like AI, for example, we convinced world famous modular laptop manufacturer Framework to join RISC-V dance and we DeepComputing can focus on making the RISC-V AI PC mainboard with SoC partners for such a versatile and vibrant AI PC product platform from tablet, desktop to laptop in a very affordable price and making RISC-V able to reach millions of hands. further improvement.
