       | The article mentions a "RISC-V Milk-V processor" with many slow
       | cores. Milk-V is a distributor that doesn't make any processors.
       | My guess is that this line is referring to the Sophgo SG2042 on
       | the Milk-V Pioneer, which is older hardware that has 64 cores.

         | Definitely not the latest and greatest RISC-V, interestingly a
         | new Milk-V board was announced quite recently which will use
         | the new spacemit K3 chip.
