Dolfyn benchmark with settings of Computational Fluid Dynamics. Orange Pi 5 was the fastest.

While the VisionFive 2 is exciting for being a quad-core RISC-V SoC with 8GB of RAM for just around $100 USD, its performance quickly proved to be rather disappointing at this time...

Zstd Compression benchmark with settings of Compression Level: 3, Compression Speed. Orange Pi 5 was the fastest.

Zstd Compression benchmark with settings of Compression Level: 3, Decompression Speed. Orange Pi 5 was the fastest.

Zstd Compression benchmark with settings of Compression Level: 19, Compression Speed. Orange Pi 5 was the fastest.

For many cases the very subpar performance comes down to the open-source ecosystem still being behind in optimizing for RISC-V and its available instructions. But at least with more lower-price RISC-V single board computers coming to market, hopefully there will be much more RISC-V open-source software tuning over the coming months.

WebP Image Encode benchmark with settings of Encode Settings: Default. Orange Pi 5 was the fastest.

WebP Image Encode benchmark with settings of Encode Settings: Quality 100, Lossless. Orange Pi 5 was the fastest.

WebP Image Encode benchmark with settings of Encode Settings: Quality 100, Highest Compression. Orange Pi 5 was the fastest.

But as it stands with current open-source Linux software right now, the quad-core 1.5GHz VisionFive 2 RISC-V SBC tended to be multiple times slower than the quad-core Raspberry Pi 4 (400) or the much more powerful AArch64 Orange Pi 5.
