DeepComputing PCs aim to elbow out Arm and x86 architectures

RISC-V laptops offer customizable and affordable personal computing with their open-source instruction set architecture. Early versions have demonstrated their potential, but lagged in performance. But in 2025, Framework and DeepComputing are partnering to make the best RISC-V laptop yet, promising an alternative to laptops powered by x86 and Arm.

    Nobody has really made performance implementations yet. They’re all IoT level or low end mobile device.

    Tenstorrent are probably the closest to having something serious.

      That’s the point. I don’t think RISC-V is coming even close to high-performance ARM chips, so building a laptop around RISC-V instead of ARM makes no sense to me.

        They are under development, and there is a small market for development machines. It also allows the manufacturer to understand the issues they’ll get once the high performance processors are here.
