This is an great deal for developers, if 0,042€/hour means per hour of compute. If you tests with cross compilation and qemu anyways and sometimes needs test/benchmark on the native hardware, then this means you can spend about 5€ and you are probably set for months if not a year.

Also, with the latest gcc you can finally target rvv 0.7.1, which is supported by these CPUs. You just write your standardized rvv 1.0 intrinsics and if you add `-march=64gcxtheadvector` gcc 14 will just generate the equivalent rvv 0.7.1: https://godbolt.org/z/va9sfEnMW

Thank you, this gcc14 option looks really interesting. With the lack of hardware of this class supporting RVV 1.0, this will be useful.
btw, if my above reply felt a bit out of place, I though I was replying to the top level post.
