How The Ubuntu Linux Performance Has Evolved For SiFive RISC-V Over The Last Four Years
SiFive recently sent over their new HiFive Premier P550 developer board and as part of that fresh RISC-V CPU testing I've also been re-testing the prior SiFive HiFive Unmatched developer board from 2020~2021 for reference.
In advance of the HiFive Premier P550 review in the coming days, this article today is looking at that historical RISC-V Linux performance perspective across Ubuntu 21.04 / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS on that mature HiFive Unmatched RISC-V developer board. As a reminder the HiFive Unmatched features four RISC-V 64-bit cores, 16GB of RAM, and was running with a Samsung 980 NVMe SSD and a Radeon HD 6770 graphics card. Following those comparison points, at the end of the article are the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS benchmarks on the HiFive Unmatched up against the Raspberry Pi 400 and Raspberry Pi 500 ARM systems for putting it into perspective how that mature RISC-V platform now compares.
