DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard II

The DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard II (also called the DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC) is the second-generation RISC-V mainboard for the Framework Laptop 13 by DeepComputing1. Powered by an ESWIN EIC7702X SoC with a dual-die 8-core SiFive P550 CPU and a 40 TOPS NPU, it is the world's first RISC-V AI PC capable of running large language models locally123.

Developer-Focused Hardware

This mainboard is aimed at developers and early adopters. Reviewers report ~25 W idle power consumption, significantly higher than x86/ARM alternatives. Battery life is limited4.
