StarFive VisionFive 2 Quad-Core RISC-V Performance Benchmarks

While the VisionFive 2 is exciting for being a quad-core RISC-V SoC with 8GB of RAM for just around $100 USD, its performance quickly proved to be rather disappointing at this time...

For many cases the very subpar performance comes down to the open-source ecosystem still being behind in optimizing for RISC-V and its available instructions. But at least with more lower-price RISC-V single board computers coming to market, hopefully there will be much more RISC-V open-source software tuning over the coming months.

But as it stands with current open-source Linux software right now, the quad-core 1.5GHz VisionFive 2 RISC-V SBC tended to be multiple times slower than the quad-core Raspberry Pi 4 (400) or the much more powerful AArch64 Orange Pi 5.
