It’s not every day that RISC-V-based products drop into the markets, especially when they’re mini-ITX motherboards. There haven’t been many instances where manufacturers have integrated the architecture into a compact design, given the lack of interest from both the consumer and the clientele segment.

However, with the debut of the AI hype, RISC-V solutions have specifically seen massive attention, given their scalability and perf/$ figures and Milk-V’s newest “Megrez” motherboard aims at catalyzing RISC-V adoption among the average consumer.

Starting with the specifications, the Milk-V Megrez reportedly features the Eswin EIC7700X SoC onboard, which is a 64-bit RISC-V high-performance CPU with a 4x SIFIVE P550 core configuration and a frequency up to 1.6 GHz. What makes the EIC7700X distinctive is how the manufacturer has been able to integrate a dedicated NPU onboard, which provides up to 19.95 TOPS INT8 performance, making it the first instance where we have seen a dedicated AI engine in a RISC-V-based processor.
