The DC-ROMA RISC-V Pad II boasts a 10.1 inch (1920×1200) IPS 10-point touch display, and is powered by the same SpacemiT K1 SoC found in their RISC-V Ubuntu laptop (which launched with a confused set of pricing tiers and availability).
That chip comprises eight 64-bit RISC-V cores running up to 2.0 GHz, plus the RVA 22 Profile and 256-bit RVV 1.0 standard to provide “powerful AI capabilities”, and an Imagine Technologies BXE-2-2 GPU, a baseline 800 MHz effort.
Memory wise, the base model offers 4GB LPDDR4 RAM. 8GB and 16GB options are available at extra cost. All versions have 64 GB eMMC, but the 16 GB variant can also be equipped with a 128 GB eMMC – all those upgrades bump the cost, of course.
Also present is a 6000 mAh battery, front and rear cameras, a USB Type-C 3.0 port (with DisplayPort), and a 3.5mm audio jack.
The DC-ROMA RISC-V Pad II ships with Ubuntu 24.04 out the box, but DeepComputing say the 16GB model will also support (a custom build of) Android 15 AOSP in time.

“Deep AI powers”.
Anytime I see a product boast about “AI powers”, I assume the tech itself is a scam.
AI powers, like the ability to load chat.openai on a browser? Is the average person running a 7B LLM locally on their tablet or laptop? Get the fuck out of here.
Same. Every time I see AI shoehorned into advertising I just think of investors being scammed with fancy keywords. It’s very detracting from an actual sales pitch and I think the company is full of crappy middle management slimey people trying to stay relevant.
These profiteers are one trick ponies. They think if they slogan hard enough its gonna sell, it feels genuinely like a disrespect of potential customer’s intellect.

I would feel glad that I found out before investing more years of my life into an entity that doesn’t respect & value my contributions or repay loyalty with loyalty but also very frustrated.
As a customer I am livid every time these companies waste my time and run me around. Amazon and their lack of problem resolution comes to mind recently over a low value item, chatbots have replaced humans and there are no options to replace broken merchandize until weeks later. It must border on or be completely illegal business practice.
Sooner or later chatbot mistakes are going to cascade into things like the New Mexico nuclear waste meltdown caused by organic kitty litter being made from wood chips and the intern being unable to purchase any regular kitty litter (to keep the containers dry)*. At a glance they would seem the same, but the consequences of some mistakes are multi million.
I’ve heard stories of millions in R&D being lost – one where the wrong button was pushed on 1M+ in wine that was accidentally dumped – another where an executive instructed an employee to put the R&D CPU in the oven (or whatever it was) without instructing them to remove the plastic safety cover destroying the sample.
I’ve seen entire multimillion dollar businesses collapse just from incompetent tech fucking up Office Printers.
It makes you wonder how long these places have before the business is totally on fire and the executive mistakes catch up with them.
These executives act like everything is an iPhone and they need to collect every fancy techbros mr cool gadget like putting another feather in a cap or badge on a boyscout or military clothing display to prove their worthiness and awesomeness.

*Wow the creators of this sub automated a speech censor over something so minor. I didn’t know this was a church and they would be offended by openness. I guess this is just a shill den for Ubuntu. Unsubbed I’m out. Not gonna waste my time growing this place when other more worthy spaces exist.
