Banana Pi has shared initial details about the BPI-F3, another single-board computer that will be sold under its 'BPI' brand. Unlike recent entries like the BPI-M6 and BPI-M7, the BPI-F3 features a RISC-V chipset that contains eight CPU cores and delivers 2 TOPS of AI computing performance, among other features.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Banana-Pi-turns-to-RISC-V-architecture-with-new-BPI-F3-single-board-computer.800770.0.html
"In short, the octa-core chipset should match the single-core performance of an ARM Cortex-A55 core clocked at 1.3 GHz."
in the original source:
"Single-core general computing power equivalent to 1.3 times Cortex-A55"
i suspect some confusion :)
