    What really surprised me to learn is that use some VLEN=1024 RVV 1.0 cores: https://x.com/FlorianWoh/status/1848771326791848438/photo/3

    Great news that I've never heard before. Good to know R5 has at least one friend with deep pockets. Wouldn't have guessed NVDA, who has been somewhat antagonistic to open computing.

    Meh. They've spent a bunch of money engineering these but could have bought a microcontroller from the numerous companies for pennies. Yes, they have more than enough money to waste which is exactly what they have done here. If they have further plans for RISC-V, ie compete with ARM, AMD, Intel, Amazon, then that is something to cheer.

    Announced during Nvidia's presentation at this year's RISC-V Summit.
