I'd really like to see a pi zero 3 that runs on RISC-V, it might be the kick in the pants RISC-V needs to go "mainstream" at least in the public view. People know raspberry pi, nobody outside the RISC-V scene really cares or even knows about MILK-V


RISC-V needs an inexpensive, performant part for it to be used in the consumer space.

The fastest available RISC-V consumer chip is orders of magnitude slower than a Raspberry Pi 5. Example: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/15998376?baseli...


The first RVA23 chips should appear this year.

Tenstorrent has announced a development board using the Tenstorrent Atlantis chip, with Ascalon cores, TBA Q2.

The performance of this chip should be above Apple M1 or AMD Zen2, comfortably above Raspberry Pi 5, and sufficient for most people's everyday computer usage.


That's why I was saying a "zero 3" would be a good fit. It doesn't need to be as fast as a pi 5, just comfortably faster than the zero 2
