Performance-wise, the new HiFive Premier P550 is about three times faster in GeekBench 6 than the HiFive Unmatched mini-ITX motherboard introduced in 2020 with a quad-core U74 RISC-V processor.
SiFive first unveiled the RISC-V mini-DTX motherboard last April with limited details but at the RISC-V Summit North America, the company announced an initial pre-release batch of 100 Yocto-ready boards (meaning headless unless a discrete GPU is connected) is available through Arrow Electronics for $599 (16GB RAM version), and Ubuntu-supported boards are scheduled in Q4 2024 with support for the integrated GPU and NPU. Note the Yocto board will be upgradeable to Ubuntu, as I understand it there should not be any major differences in terms of hardware, if any.

SiFive pushes out Premier P550 RISC-V developer board
Prominent RISC-V protagonist SiFive has announced early access to its anticipated development board, built around the firm's P550 core design, with a broader release scheduled for December.
The HiFive Premier P550 board is available now, if you can call a pre-release batch of 100 boards with Yocto Linux making the product available. These have been dubbed the "Early Access Edition" and are ready to purchase through Arrow Electronics in the US for $599.
The broader release in December will come with a build of Canonical's Ubuntu 24.04 pre-installed instead, the company said. The Early Access boards will also be upgradable to Ubuntu.
