Not great; VisionFive appears to be significantly less performant.

#13Upstreasming status: https://rvspace.org/en/new-page/JH7110_Upstream_Plan
StarFive Tech. have been upstreaming on kernel, OpenSBI and U-Boot from several weeks now. Of course this is still weeks/months away (if not more, for all the features) from landing in stable releases. Even more for distributions to pick those up.

A board that you can buy will perform better than one that is unavailable.

Faster than a 3 but slower than a 4 by raw clock speed but ymmv with real world usage

There are a few where it does win though -- I wonder what characteristics favor VisionFive in those?

#17HN is tanking the RVSpace forum too.
Just go here and buy one instead: https://www.waveshare.com/visionfive2.htm?sku=23875

CPU slower than 4 as said, but even Jetson Nano is slower that the mad performance per watt of the 4.
BUT the GPU is apparently better which would make this THE SBC.
I will test my 3D MMO engine and give exactly what is what once I receive mine, should be a couple of days.
The Raspberry GPU has a serious cache problem, it can't render a triangle at 60FPS in 1080p!!!
But 100 non-instanced animated characters (each with a unique weapon in hand) at 60FPS and low res (800x600).
Jetson (1/2 Nintendo Switch GPU) does 300 at 60 FPS in 1080p.
If the Visionfive 2 is either:
- 100+ at 60 FPS and 1080p
- 200+ at 60 FPS and 800x600

We're still in the early days of risc-v availability. Arm has been widely deployed and the compilers optimised by both individuals and companies. I expect this comparison to look better in a year (not better than rpi4, just a smaller gap)

Looks pretty good opensource-wise, right? Some linux fork with ton of patches but hopefully most of that will get upstreamed, and except that I found no weird blobs or proprietary crap.
Still no sign of an actual Technical Reference Manual or any other detailed documentation on the SoC (registers, peripherals, etc). A big pile of Linux patches, while better than nothing, is a poor substitute for actual documentation.
SiFive does provide docs for the core complex (processors, cache, irq controller, etc), but that doesn't cover any SoC-specific peripherals.
