    And when Framework says they “aren’t yet competitive,” that may be something of an understatement: Phoronix’s Michael Larabel points out that even a Raspberry Pi 4 mini-computer is likely faster than the quad-core 1.5GHz RISC-V StarFive JH7110 SoC you’re getting here.

    Not meant for consumers but could be a good option for people who want to develop on it

    The main board is meant to be swappable, too, so you can move also go an AMD/Intel main board and have two computers in one, sort of
