DeepComputing Unveils World's First RISC-V AI PC

DeepComputing has recently introduced the world's first RISC-V AI PC, now accessible to the developer community. This innovative machine, known as the DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC, is constructed on Framework's modular laptop platform and runs on ESWIN Computing's advanced EIC7702X SoC featuring 8 SiFive P550 CPU cores. The system comes with Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 LTS pre-installed and includes a robust 40 TOPS NPU, vector processing cluster (12-bit-wide vector 8-core), support for 8K @50 FPS video encoding, and the ability to accommodate up to 64 GB LPDDR5 memory and NVMe storage (up to 1 TB). These features make it ideal for serious development tasks and AI experimentation.

DeepComputing's CEO Yuning Liang stated that the AI PC was designed "to empower developers who support local-first AI, open innovation, and sustainable computing" and signifies "a fundamental step towards a more open and privacy-respecting digital future." The uniqueness of this PC lies in its emphasis on local AI computing power. With over 40 TOPS of AI compute capability, it can execute complex AI models like large language models entirely on the device without relying on cloud connections. This enables developers to develop AI applications with complete control over their data, privacy, and expenses.

Nirav Patel, Founder and CEO of Framework, commented: "This launch showcases the potential of modular design combined with open architecture. We are delighted to see DeepComputing introducing a significantly more powerful RISC-V processor to developers globally through the Framework Laptop ecosystem."

The DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC is currently available for pre-order (starting at $349) with public demonstrations scheduled for upcoming industry events such as RISC-V Summit Europe and Computex Taipei 2025.
