We're excited to share a preview of a Framework Laptop with a new CPU architecture today, and it's not the one you probably think it is.
DeepComputingio
is creating the first partner-developed Mainboard, and it's powered by a RISC-V processor!

You can see the full announcement in our blog post at:

DeepComputing is showing an early demo of the new RISC-V Mainboard at the RISC-V Summit in Munich next week. This board uses a StarFiveTech JH7110 with SiFive RISC-V CPU cores. DeepComputing is also working closely with the teams at Ubuntu and Fedora on Linux support.

This Mainboard drops directly into any existing Framework Laptop 13, and is aimed at enabling developers, tinkerers, and hobbyists to start testing and creating on RISC-V. In this generation, it isn't directly optimized for end-consumer usage.
