The website is super slow. It downloads 7.66MB of files, and it took 1.05min to load for me on a 2020 MBP with 150Mbps bandwidth and ~15ms latency.
Is there a list of RISC-V CPUs in production someplace?
Is the SiFive U74 open source? I know the RISC-V ISA is, but I thought the SiFive designs were proprietary.

From the Guidelines: Please don't complain about website formatting, back-button breakage, and similar annoyances. They're too common to be interesting. Exception: when the author is present. Then friendly feedback might be helpful. Still, the page loads in ~3secs on my 2012 i7-3770K with 100Mbps...
To be more efficient and complete with mainstream processors a move to 10/12nm is required.
What kind of performance is expected from this compared to say the RPi 4B? Any noteworthy changes in performance characteristics (e.g better/worse I/O or something)?
Random googling suggests that SiFive have partnered with PowerVR for GPU, which might even enable vulkan support, but I suppose this SoC is not one of those?
Most RISC-V processors use really old node sizes. Even Raspberry Pi is on 28nm. To be more efficient and complete with mainstream processors a move to 10/12nm is required.
