The selection of Chinese 64-bit RISC-V chips is growing: the former Google and Cisco executive Dr. Aglaia Kong (Jiang Zhaohui) founded near Shenzhen Yuefang Technology introduces the LeapFive NB2. The system-on-chip (SoC) is produced by an unnamed contract manufacturer with 12-nanometer technology and combines four RISC-V cores with L2 cache, a memory controller for (LP) DDR4 RAM, a GPU, an AI accelerator (NPU) as well as with the usual controllers for USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, SDIO, SPI and also I2C. RISC-V cores between ARM Cortex-A55 and -A72 The RISC-V cores are said to reach up to 1.8 GHz and deliver...
