      Unfortunately, it looks like Intel is investing heavily into RISC-V (by buying out SiFive), so it’s harder to say for sure what their future will be here.

        Intel isn’t buying SiFive. That deal fell through almost 2 years ago.

    That’s an interesting gpu choice. The R5 230 is a super old graphics card. I wonder if it’s built into the board like a laptop

      The hardware, which primarily targets software developers wanting to compile on a native RISC-V system, is priced at $1,199 for the motherboard with processor and a cooling heatsink; a $1,999 ready-to-run bundle adds a case, power supply, 128GB of DDR4 memory, a 1TB SSD, an Intel X520-T2 two-port 10-gig-Ethernet network card, and an AMD R5 230 graphics card.

      Almost certainly not since you can get the motherboard/cooler/CPU without it.

      I don’t think the motherboard has video out so it needs a GPU. So it’s probably the cheapest supported GPU.
