RISC-V is an open-source instruction set architecture ( ISA ) poised to make personal computing more personal.

Laptops will be fully customizable, with both hardware and software being modified to fit your needs.

Researchers at University of California, Berkeley’s Parallel Computing Laboratory began developing the Risc-V ISA in 2010 .

RISC-V chip in the DC-Roma II performs well behind x86 and Arm-powered alternatives.

DeepComputing wants to tackle that in 2025 with a new generation of chips.

At about US $ 600 , it's not much more expensive than a midrange Windows laptop like an Acer Aspire .
