DeepComputing PCs aim to elbow out Arm and x86 architectures

RISC-V laptops offer customizable and affordable personal computing with their open-source instruction set architecture. Early versions have demonstrated their potential, but lagged in performance. But in 2025, Framework and DeepComputing are partnering to make the best RISC-V laptop yet, promising an alternative to laptops powered by x86 and Arm.

    That’s the point. I don’t think RISC-V is coming even close to high-performance ARM chips, so building a laptop around RISC-V instead of ARM makes no sense to me.

      They are under development, and there is a small market for development machines. It also allows the manufacturer to understand the issues they’ll get once the high performance processors are here.
