I won't pretend to understand the geo-politics or rulings.

What I do know is since the ban, all ongoing products featuring SOPHGO SOCs were cancelled, and I haven't seen any products featuring them since. The SOPHGO forums have also closed down.

The Milk-V Oasis would have had 16 cores (SG2380 w/ SiFive P670), it was replaced by the Milk-V Megrez with just 4 cores (SiFive P550) for around the same price. The new Milk-V Titan has only 8. We're slowly catching up, but the performance is now one or two years behind what it could've been.

The SG2380 would've been the first desktop ready RISC-V SOC at an affordable price. I think it's still the only SOC made that used the SiFive P670 core.
