RISC-V mini AI PC that fits inside a Framework laptop shell revealed
DeepComputing has developed a reputation as a pioneer of small form factor RISC-V PCs. The company is now accepting pre-orders for its newest product, a mini AI PC that can replace the mainboard of the Framework Laptop 13.
The device will be based a mystery SoC with a 64-bit 8-core RISC-V CPU running at up to 2 GHz, along with an NPU, GPU, and VPU to cover all of the AI bases. The mini PC supports up to 64GB of LPDDR5 RAM and NVMe SSDs.
The only SoC that advertizes the same specs is Eswin Computing's EIC7702X, which is two Eswin EIC7700Xs stuck together. The dual-CPUs, two 4-core SiFive Performance P550s, are rated for up to 1.8 GHz each, paired with GPUs based on Imagination IP.
The device will start at $300 on its release in Q3 2025, with a $9.90 deposit required today. If it follows the pattern of the first DC-ROMA Framework mainboard, it will likely be sold as a standalone board, inside a mini-PC enclosure, or pre-assembled inside a Framework Laptop 13.
