The native performance of this board is similar to a Raspberry Pi 3. With Box64 it’ll be significantly worse.
There’s quite a push behind RISC-V now, in part because China seems to like the idea of not being tied to American or British companies for their CPU architecture. We’ll see whether it actually pass out or not.
I looked up the stats and yeah it’s more like A55 vs A72 (pi 4b) but to reiterate my point of compatibility and potential performance over the next few years:
15fps in witcher 3 is wild for an architecture that is running through a compatibility layer and is incredibly immature. I’d also note that I’m not sure how much overhead box64 has, it’s not emulation the same way WINE is not an Emulator, which as we know allows it to be as fast as native Windows sometimes.
