DeepComputing has announced the immediate availability of its DC-ROMA RISC-V Artificial Intelligence PC, positioning it as ´the world´s first´ RISC-V-based Artificial Intelligence personal computer designed specifically for developers. The DC-ROMA leverages Framework´s modular laptop platform, which enables customization and future hardware upgrades, and is powered by ESWIN Computing´s advanced EIC7702X system-on-chip. This SoC features eight SiFive P550 CPU cores, delivering robust processing power for parallel workloads and intensive computation.
Aiming to appeal to developers focused on open innovation and privacy, the DC-ROMA comes pre-installed with Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 LTS, ensuring compatibility with established open-source software and development tools. Alongside the RISC-V processor, the device integrates a 40 tera-operations-per-second neural processing unit for on-device Artificial Intelligence processing, a vector processing cluster with 12-bit-wide 8-core design, and support for up to 8K resolution video encoding at 50 frames per second. Memory configurations scale up to 64 GB of LPDDR5, and storage support includes up to 1 TB of NVMe flash, making the device suitable for demanding development and artificial intelligence experimentation tasks.
DeepComputing CEO Yuning Liang characterized the DC-ROMA RISC-V Artificial Intelligence PC as a commitment to local-first Artificial Intelligence, sustainable computing, and openness, describing the device as a foundational step for a future based on privacy and digital self-reliance. The company’s approach is expected to resonate with a community of developers looking to advance artificial intelligence applications outside large proprietary platforms, while benefiting from the flexibility and transparency offered by the RISC-V ecosystem and modular hardware design.
