The performance of SpacemiT K3 is pretty good, a huge leap forward from the SiFive U74 cores in the StarFive JH7110.
Milk-V Jupiter 2 is one of the first to ship with the new RVA23 chip. The product design is slightly cumbersome, and it took a bit of time to setup as it lacked documentation. It lacks a clear power button or power state indicator, the power LED is only viewable at an angle from within the enclosure. The ports for USB-C power and display are combined; it requires the use of a powered USB dock, or similar, to attach to a display. SSH was enabled by default for remote access. Also it ships with Bianbu, a distro based on Ubuntu. The default desktop was LXQt instead of Gnome, which complicated keyboard configuration and lacked several features. Switching to Gnome solved those issues. As of about a week ago, there is now an image available to install Ubuntu 26.04 directly, which could be a great option. Performance is pretty good and near ready for daily desktop use. Looking forward!
