For those looking for a new RISC-V desktop option, ESWIN is launching a EBC7702 mini-DTX board powered by the EIC7702X dual-die SoC. The EBC7702 Mini-DTX is aiming for developers who want RISC-V under their desk for working on AI and other development tasks.
I haven't yet found a formal announcement from ESWIN Computing around this new product but Canonical posted to the Ubuntu blog minutes ago around the EBC7702 Mini-DTX since it will ship with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS pre-installed.
This mini-DTX board features an eight core RISC-V CPU design, LPDDR5 memory in 32GB or 64GB configurations, an AI processor up to 40 TOPS @ INT8, 32GB eMMC onboard, M.2 SATA slot, microSD slot, and four Gigabit Ethernet ports. There are also two 4-lane PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots for graphics cards or other add-in cards.
More details on this new RISC-V mini-DTX board option can be found via the [1]Ubuntu.com blog .
The [2]Amazon.com product page (affiliate link) lists the ESWIN Computing EBC77 Series EBC7702 RISC-V Mini-DTX Mainboard (EBC7702 Development Board) with 32GB of RAM for $698 USD. That's rather high for an 8-core + 32GB RAM option these days and performance subpar to modern AMD/Intel systems... Not to mention the SoC isn't RVA23 compliant and thus [3]won't work with Ubuntu 25.10 and moving forward so will be stuck to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or other Linux distributions for its lifetime. The ESWIN EIC7702X dual-die SoC also isn't yet supported by the mainline Linux kernel with [4]Linux 6.18 only beginning with the EIC7700 upstream support .
The Amazon.com product page points to the product beginning to ship around the end of November or early December.
