Interesting capabilities and performance per dollar
“This looks like a fascinating board with amazing capabilities, but wow, that lack of memory bandwidth here is most surprising.”

Low memory bandwidth
“This looks like a fascinating board with amazing capabilities, but wow, that lack of memory bandwidth here is most surprising.”
Comment from 13 Jun 2026 in “The MilkV Jupiter 2/SpacemiT K3 (RISC-V vector compute)” Single-core speed is lacking
“Single core is still lacking but the multi-core isn't all that far behind a pi5”
Comment from 16 Aug 2026 in “A 3rd World Embedded Engineer Responds to "RISC-V They Should Have Known Better"” Trails x86 gear at same price
“doesn't compare with x86 gear in the same price bracket”
