> SiFive’s design goals for the U8-Series are quite straightforward: Compared to an Arm Cortex-A72, the U8-Series aims to be comparable in performance, while offering 1.5x better power efficiency at the same time as using half the area.
This is very a big statement. It's hard for me to think of how they do that, when 8th gen ARM cores are said to be blowing just anything else on size/performance ratio.
Where does SiFive get such an expertise in size optimisation?
