DIY Engineer Builds GPU from 8,192 RISC-V Chips
A hobbyist named bitluni created a custom GPU using 8,192 RISC-V microcontrollers, achieving 160 cores. The project demonstrates the feasibility of building graphics hardware from inexpensive, open-source components. It took months of work and cost a fraction of a commercial high-end GPU.
Meridian48 take
While impressive as a hobbyist feat, this DIY GPU is unlikely to compete with commercial graphics cards in performance or efficiency.
