DeepComputing has just unveiled "the world's first" RISC-V AI PC, available now for the developer community. This machine, called the DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC, is built on Framework's modular laptop platform and powered by ESWIN Computing's advanced EIC7702X SoC with 8 SiFive P550 CPU cores. The system comes pre-installed with Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 LTS and beside the RISC-V CPU it sports a powerful 40 TOPS NPU, vector processing cluster (12-bit-wide vector 8-core), support for 8K @50 FPS video encoding, and capacity for up to 64 GB LPDDR5 memory and NVMe storage (up to 1 TB). All this makes it suitable for serious development work and AI experimentation.
According to DeepComputing's CEO Yuning Liang, the AI PC was created "to empower developers who believe in local-first AI, open innovation, and sustainable computing" and represents "a foundational step toward a more open and privacy-respecting digital future."
What makes this PC special is its focus on local AI computing power. With over 40 TOPS of AI compute capability, it can run complex AI models like large language models completely on the device without needing cloud connections. This means developers can create AI applications with total control over their data, privacy, and costs.
Nirav Patel, Founder and CEO of Framework, said: "This launch is a powerful demonstration of what's possible when modular design meets open architecture. We're happy to see DeepComputing bringing a substantially more powerful RISC-V processor to developers worldwide through the Framework Laptop ecosystem."
The DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC is already available for pre-order (prices start at $349) with public demonstrations planned for upcoming industry events including RISC-V Summit Europe and Computex Taipei 2025.
