Mic92: What about using some of these while we wait for a RISC-V machine that's suitable for the rack? I'm not the right person to answer but davidlt in #riscv:fedoraproject.org has a few reasons why these cores from Alibaba are not up-to-the spec and are best used for test builds instead of actual builders. | 13:35:52 |
 K900 | AFAIK those cores are also dog slow | 13:37:42 |
| Pratham Patel | As are the ones in the VF2 too | 13:39:44 |
| Pratham Patel | compiler optimizations are not upstream yet afaik | 13:39:59 |
 Mic92 | Are they are any cores, that are not slow for riscv64? | 13:40:56 |
| Pratham Patel | They compare to the ARM Cortex A55 cores if my memory serves me right | 13:41:01 |
 fgaz | As far as I know they are slower than the sifive cores in compilation workloads, but it's not like this is a permanent solution | 13:41:01 |
| fgaz | * As far as I know they are slower than the sifive cores in compilation workloads, but it's not like this is a permanent solution anyway | 13:41:19 |
| Mic92 | Maybe for testing cross-compiled riscv packages? | 13:41:52 |

Are they are any cores, that are not slow for riscv64? upcoming SG2380 has 12x P670 which are equivalent to ARM's Cortex A78 cores (so faster than the RK3588's A76) | 13:41:55 |

upcoming SG2380 has 12x P670 which are equivalent to ARM's Cortex A78 cores (so faster than the RK3588's A76) and 4x more P670 which are somehow binned at a slower freqency | 13:42:32 |
