16:51 <davidlt[m]> Quote: SiFive has partnered with IFS to develop a RISC-V development platform, codenamed “Horse Creek,” featuring a multi-core SiFive Performance™ P550 processor, and implemented on the Intel 4 technology platform, on track for availability in 2022. The “Horse Creek” SoC will enable a new generation of RISC-V developer boards, continuing the tradition of SiFive HiFive boards that have helped drive the growth of the RISC-V

16:51 <davidlt[m]> ecosystem. To be informed of updates on the “Horse Creek” RISC-V developer board, please register here.

16:53 <leah2> that does "intel 4" mean?

16:53 <davidlt[m]> Intel 7nm process

16:56 <leah2> that sounds state of the art for intel?

16:57 <leah2> https://www.pcmag.com/news/intel-sorry-but-our-7nm-chips-will-be-delayed-to-2022-2023 sounds like they fixed it faster then

16:57 <davidlt[m]> According to rumours Alder Lake (released) and Raptor Lake are Intel 7 (10nm) and Meteor Lake is Intel 4 (7nm)

16:57 <davidlt[m]> Thus this could be the 1st Intel 4 (7nm) public silicon

16:58 <davidlt[m]> Before Meteor Lake (in 2023)

16:58 <rwmjones> will do ..

16:58 <leah2> probably it's just a x86_64 cpu with another instruction decoder /s

16:59 <davidlt[m]> This one? It's SiFive P550.
