DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard III Unveiled at FOSDEM: Powered by SpacemiT K3 for Framework Laptop 13

Today at FOSDEM, DeepComputing is excited to unveil the DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard III, our latest RISC-V mainboard for the Framework Laptop 13, powered by the recently released SpacemiT K3 RISC-V AI SoC — the world’s first RISC-V SoC to support the RVA23 profile.

With RVA23 support, an 8-core CPU up to 2.5GHz, and a 30 TOPS NPU, DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard III brings a new level of performance and AI capability to open laptop-class RISC-V systems.

Powered by SpacemiT K3

SpacemiT K3 integrates high-performance RISC-V CPU cores with a powerful AI engine, enabling developers to run modern Linux distributions, accelerate AI workloads, and explore next-generation software stacks on open hardware.

DC-ROMA Mainboard III fully leverages K3’s capabilities, delivering a balanced and developer-friendly platform for daily use, software bring-up, and advanced experimentation.
