SiFive Unveils HiFive Premier P550: A RISC-V Development PC with Linux 6.60 Support
Today at Embedded World, SiFive, Inc. unveiled the HiFive Premier P550, an advanced iteration of the former HiFive Unmatched board. This new development board offers a Linux-based platform in a standard PC form factor, marking a significant evolution in their RISC-V product line.
The HiFive Premier P550 is powered by a quad-core SiFive Performance P550 processor. Its standout feature is the P550 core, known for delivering high compute density and efficient performance, while maintaining an energy-efficient profile.

SiFive shows off its 'fastest RISC-V development board'
Dubbed the HiFive Premier P550 and unveiled in time for the Embedded World conference in Germany this week, this modest computer uses a Chinese system-on-chip powered by four SiFive-designed P550 CPU cores. The P550 sits in the middle of SiFive's Performance family of RISC-V CPU blueprints. SiFive hopes its latest board will help developers consider deploying RISC-V for "AI and other cutting-edge technologies across different market segments."
Silicon Valley-based SiFive already has a P550-powered developer board of sorts: The HiFive Pro P550, which also has a 64-bit out-of-order quad-P550 system-on-chip. However, despite having been announced in January 2023, the Pro P550 is nowhere in sight in terms of general availability – and SiFive's website indicates the hardware remains "scheduled to be available to key partners late 2023, and more broadly early 2024." All of the Pro's documentation and technical details are still "coming soon."

Embedded World: fast 64bit quad core RISC-V development board for Linux
HiFive Premier P550, as it will be known, is built around an Eswin EIC7700 processor which has SiFive’s 64bit three-issue, out-of-order P550 cores, 256kbyte L2 cache and 4Mbyte L3 cache.
It is collaborating with Canonical to ensure Ubuntu will run on the board, which is similar to a PC motherboard.
“The board will be available for large-scale deployment through Arrow Electronics so developers around the world can test and develop RISC-V applications like machine vision, video analysis, AI PC and others,” said SiFive. “The modular design of the HiFive Premier P550, which includes a replaceable system-on-module board, gives developers flexibility to tailor their designs.”
