Substantially cheaper than the U540 (same core, first-party) but lacks e.g. 8GB ECC RAM. A summary of "things that actually exist" RISC-V products lives here: https://github.com/riscv/riscv-cores-list#user-content-socs It's not clear to me if they've implemented PCIe properly, or are still doing that via the FPGA.
