| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | This video shows the board running without any heatsink. Maybe I'm okay with "1.3x faster than ARM Cortex A55" performance...

 Steven Keuchel | so also first board with some cypto extension!? | 17:36:39 |
| Steven Keuchel | "Supports algorithms like AES, SHA, RSA, SM2, SM3, SM4,etc." | 17:38:17 |
 Alex | In reply to @skeuchel:matrix.org
so also first board with some cypto extension!? The lack of a complete list of supported extensions makes me doubt that it's any of the recently ratified cryptography extensions (is it called RVK?). It could be a custom extension, or just marketing nonsense because all of those can be implemented in software. | 17:50:49 |
| Alex | Apparently the latest RVK spec does not mention SM2 support... How suspicious. | 17:52:15 |
| Steven Keuchel | a lot of them were ratified at the same time as RVV | 17:53:52 |

 KREYREN ⚡️🦀 (TH1520 in Licheepi 4A) | is there an UEFI RISCV64 installer with GNOME somewhere? | 03:16:04 |

| KREYREN ⚡️🦀 (TH1520 in Licheepi 4A) | guess i will have to build one then x-x | 03:29:41 |

| Steven Keuchel | not the recent vector crypto tho | 17:54:32 |
| Steven Keuchel | Hmm the diagram shows "Security" with "AES/RSA/SHA2" separate from the cores.

| Steven Keuchel | So I guess exposed as IO, not as part of the ISA | 17:59:45 |
| Steven Keuchel | :( | 17:59:53 |

| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | I don't see a mention of ISA extensions (the entire string) other than the mention of RVV 1.0 | 02:49:48 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | So most of it is probably under an NDA until the product is ready for mass promotion | 02:50:09 |

| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | there isn't even a binary cache afaik | 14:11:33 |
 hexa | there is no plausible build hardware yet | 15:48:30 |
 raitobezarius | We wanted to build a community cluster made out of SBCs | 15:48:59 |

Seems that coreutils are failing to build through qemu x86_64-linux -> riscv64-linux
| 17:03:58 |
| raitobezarius | But a lot of code was in suboptimal state to have a realistic cluster AFAIK | 15:49:13 |
| raitobezarius | I am still interested to build one | 15:49:20 |
| raitobezarius | But maybe we should define a core set of packages | 15:49:27 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | The VisionFive2, though having the same cores as the HiFive Unmatched, has come uarch improvements (kinda like a "v2" of the core), making it a bit faster for compilation. But gets severely hindered by half the RAM (8) compared to what you get on the Unmatched (16). | 15:50:25 |
| raitobezarius | I'd not say that RAM is the biggest deal tbf | 15:51:04 |
| raitobezarius | You can eval nixpkgs on a x86 | 15:51:09 |
| Pratham Patel (you can mention me) | Not the biggest, but is a pain point tbh | 15:51:19 |
| raitobezarius | For what exactly? | 15:51:28 |
