I was only talking about high core count and high (relatively speaking) single-core performance. The DeepComputing Framework board is neither. Its JH7110 is only 4 cores and a rather old processor, which seems like an odd choice for a product releasing in 2025. At least the software support is great since distros have been working with VisionFive 2 and Milk-V Mars for years.
It’s also the only currently-available Framework 13 board with fewer than 6 cores, though core count isn’t remotely comparable between architectures. At this price ($209 for lone board with 8GB RAM, $799 for full laptop) I’d prefer to see something at the very least comparable to SpacemiT K1, which has 8 cores and vector support, and is on the Banana Pi BPI-F3 (8GB version is $95).
There’s also the deep computing mainboard from framework. Also that p550 uses a new CPU while the mainboard uses a jh710.
The p550 is less rpi and more like those rockchip powered boards from radxa. (ignoring core count).
