The Framework Laptop 13 is about to become one of the world’s first RISC-V laptops
Not Intel, not AMD, not Arm — but RISC-V.
This Mainboard is extremely compelling, but we want to be clear that in this generation, it is focused primarily on enabling developers, tinkerers, and hobbyists to start testing and creating on RISC-V. And when Framework says they “aren’t yet competitive,” that may be something of an understatement: Phoronix ’s Michael Larabel points out that even a Raspberry Pi 4 mini-computer is likely faster than the quad-core 1.5GHz RISC-V StarFive JH7110 SoC you’re getting here. The Steam Deck, Apple Silicon, and now a wave of Qualcomm and Arm-powered Windows laptops are all here to prove that native isn’t always best and that we deserve more.
