The link in the GP comment is wrong - both SoCs have 4 cores, each with a single thread.

The reason why this SoC is faster than HiFive Unmatched seems to be down to architectural improvements.

They both use U74, but different versions.

The one in JH7110 is the 2021Q1 version, AIUI.

Besides faster, it also added B extension.

No. VisionFive2's RISC-V CPU does not have the B extension. I confirmed it on the actual device.

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 hart : 2 isa : rv64imafdc mmu : sv39 uarch : sifive,u74-mc

As you say this, I realize I can't find anywhere that it does.

I do not know why I thought it did. Possibly as U74-MC[0] supports that option.

Interestingly, I also took a look at RVA22[1], and found it requires Zbb but not the whole B.

Your /proc/cpuinfo isn't listing Z* extensions. Maybe lscpu output would be more detailed?

Oh, I was mistaken. I've verified that at least the rev instruction works (tested on clang -march=rv64imafdcb0p94).

[snvzz]

It is quite possible it implements some B instructions (like the Za or Zb extensions) but not B as a whole.

Got mine.

Ah, makes much more sense. Thanks!
