SiFive is the 800 lb gorilla in RISC-V.They have about half the
presentations at this week's workshop...

I bought their initial offering, the HiFive1, which was a
disappointment, but hey... it was 59 bucks.. I will check out their
64-bit cores, although they have a lot of competition in that space...
