The PC was launched in collaboration** with **Framework** and is powered by **ESWIN’s** advanced RISC-V AI SoC **EIC7702X**—featuring 8 **SiFive’s** high-performance **P550 CPU cores** . Built on the DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard II designed specifically for the Framework Laptop, this new AI PC is now available on the *[DeepComputing Store](https://store.deepcomputing.io/products/dc-roma-ai-pc-risc-v-mainboard-ii-for-framework-laptop-13),* with prices starting from $349. DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC This launch marks a major milestone for the global developer community, offering the world’s first RISC-V-based AI PC with a **chiplet dual-die connected AI** SoC. Built for developers pioneering edge and AI-native applications, it delivers over 40 **TOPS of local AI compute**, enabling complex AI models—such as large language models (LLMs)—to run entirely on-device, without relying on the cloud. DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC Mini At its core is a RISC-V 64-bit, 8-core out-of-order SiFive P550 out-of-order CPU, paired with: * A 40 TOPS NPU * A 512-bit-wide vector processor * Hardware support for 8K@50FPS video encoding * Support for up to 64GB LPDDR5 memory and NVMe SSD storage This configuration provides ample power for advanced development, prototyping, and experimentation. What sets the DC-ROMA AI PC apart is its commitment to local, secure, and private AI execution. Developers can run LLMs and other AI workloads through optimized APIs and open-source toolchains, enabling everything from on-device chatbots and AGI-driven media experiences to audio and video synthesis — all with full control over data, performance, and cost. Canonical is excited to work with DeepComputing and its partners to build an open, modular, and future-ready developer ecosystem. The DC-ROMA AI PC represents the next evolution in sustainable and customizable RISC-V AI computing. This achievement is the result of a collaboration across both hardware and software ecosystems. **John Ronco**, SiFive SVP of Product, remarked “This is a powerful product that demonstrates the power of RISC-V open-standard computing as both a development and commercial platform. With 8 of our flexible, high-performance P550 cores, and supported by a strong and growing RISC-V developer ecosystem, the DC-ROMA AI PC will help bring scalable, secure, and efficient AI solutions to life.” **Gordan Markuš**, Director of Silicon Alliances at Canonical, added: “Canonical is proud to be part of this important step for the RISC-V ecosystem. Together with DeepComputing, Framework, ESWIN, and SiFive, we’re enabling developers to build next-generation AI solutions on RISC-V leveraging Ubuntu and open source software components. This collaboration highlights the strength of the RISC-V ecosystem in uniting companies to jointly shape the future of accessible and open innovation.” “The DC-ROMA AI PC embodies the innovation and collaboration made possible by the RISC-V ecosystem. It will accelerate new applications, enabling engineers to natively develop code for RISC-V on RISC-V.” **Andrea Gallo**, CTO of RISC-V International, noted. “It’s about giving developers full-stack freedom, from hardware to AI applications.” **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.” This milestone would not have been possible without the close collaboration of different hardware and software partners, the dedication of open-source contributors, and the growing global community supporting the RISC-V movement. Their collective efforts helped turn the vision of an open, local-first AI PC into a reality. **Yuning Liang**, Founder and CEO of DeepComputing, stated: “We built this AI PC to empower developers who believe in local-first AI, open innovation, and sustainable computing. It’s a foundational step toward a more open and privacy-respecting digital future.” ## Availability Pre-orders are now open, and prices start at $349.
