ARM has spent decades working with partners on ARM-based laptops. Its open standard competitor, RISC-V, is looking to catch up fast with the first developers laptop.
The ROMA development platform from DeepComputing and Xcalibyte in China will use a forthcoming 12nm quad-core RISC-V processor to power the industry’s first native RISC-V laptop. This will also have a companion NPU/GPU for machine learning, video and graphics as well as a security enclave processor based on the ARM SC300 core.
