Based on RISC-V ultra-high performance 8-core SoC, what end product do you want?

Please consider lessons from Sipeed (M1 for K210 or LicheeRV for D1) or Pi’s Compute Module where you can build one (hopefully inexpensive) small, high-volume board with just a ton of connections and surround it by multiple form factors (hopefully an open ecosystem) of backplanes, laptops, chromeboxes, dev boards.

Then when the next generation of silicon ships, swap out the card and not have to replace touchscreens, keyboards, analyzer pods, network and I/O support and such.

With a laptop, particularly, replacing the screen, battery, keyboard and such with each generation is just wasteful
