DeepComputing is a technology company based in Hong Kong that develops and sells RISC-V based hardware. Its flagship products are laptops, tablets and PC motherboards with various processors based on 64-bit RISC-V ISA.
History
DeepComputing is founded in 2022, at Sheung Wan, Hong Kong by Yuning Liang. In May, launch of first RISC-V based laptop was rumored by Calista Redmond, former CEO of RISC-V International, with photos of prototypes being shipped to them. In July, DeepComputing together with Xcalibyte (a software company co-founded by Yuning) unveiled DC ROMA, first commercially available laptop based on a RISC-V based microprocessor.[1][2][3] A month later it was revealed that the SoC inside is an Alibaba TH1520.[4]
In June 2024, DeepComputing released another laptop named DC ROMA II, claiming it to be the first RISC-V based laptop to run Ubuntu without any configuration. It was based on SpacemiT K1 SoC, an 8-core CPU running up to 2.0GHz.[5][6][7] In August, company announced the first ever RISC-V based tablet named DC ROMA PAD II, which was powered by the same K1 SoC.[8]
In November 2024, DeepComputing announced DC ROMA Mainboard for Framework Laptop 13, a highly modifiable laptop. The partnership was announced back in june by both companies. The motherboard includes a StarFive JH7110 SoC, and was made available for $199.[9][10][11]
In March 2025, DeepComputing announced DC ROMA AI PC motherboard, for Framework Laptop 13 again. Its based on ESWIN's EIC7702X SoC that has AI capabilities up to 50 TOPS when NPU (Neural Processing Unit) is enabled. It was open for preorders for $300, for orders to be effective by july of the same year.[12]
