Deep Computing Unveils $349 DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard Featuring 8-Core CPU

Deep Computing has introduced the DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC, a single-board computer priced at $349. This system features the ESWIN 7702X octa-core processor, which is built on SiFive P5550 RISC-V RV64GC CPU cores, capable of reaching frequencies up to 2 GHz. Notably, the integrated GPU supports hardware-accelerated 3D graphics, while the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) delivers up to 40 TOPS of AI performance. When combined with the CPU and GPU, the total AI performance can reach 50 TOPS.

The DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC is compatible with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, providing a robust platform for development, although some applications may encounter performance or compatibility challenges due to the current state of RISC-V architecture support compared to more established architectures like x86_64 and ARM.

The mainboard is designed to be versatile; it can be housed in a Cooler Master case or integrated into a Framework Laptop 13, allowing users to customize their computing experience. The system includes 32GB of RAM, though storage options must be provided by the user, as it does not come with built-in storage. The board supports PCIe NVMe SSDs and SD cards, alongside four USB-C ports for data, video, and power connectivity.

This release marks the second iteration of the Framework Laptop 13-compatible mainboard from Deep Computing. The initial model, launched earlier this year, featured a quad-core StarFive JH7110 processor and 8GB of RAM, priced at $199.
