Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Lichee Pi 4A
I also want to mention the Lichee Pi Nano, though it is much smaller and targeting a different use case: https://www.cnx-software.com/2018/08/17/licheepi-nano-cheap-.... Made an embedded distro Buildroot config for that one some time ago (https://github.com/unframework/licheepi-nano-buildroot).

Allwinner F1C200s
If this is indeed relevant, I also ported the Lichee Pi Nano vendor's kernel fork to newer Linux version as well (see links in the readme for https://github.com/unframework/licheepi-nano-buildroot).

US Government reportedly ponders crimping China's use of RISC-V
> I'm pretty sure that SiFive isn't allowed to sell their RISC-V core designs to any Chinese company already.
The JH7110 SoC from the Chinese firm Starfive uses SiFive's U74 core. Eswin, also Chinese uses SiFive's P550 core in their upcoming EIC7700 SoC.
> All Chinese RISC-V core designs have been proprietary designs thus far.
There is the OpenC910 [1] and OpenXiangShan [2].

Is RISC-V ready for HPC? Evaluating the 64-core Sophon SG2042 RISC-V CPU
Note that the C910 CPU cores used in this chip are in fact open source:

(C920 is just C910 plus RVV draft 0.7.1 vector unit which pretty much no software uses anyway, sadly)

China Deploys RISC-V Server in Commercial Cloud
More precisely, a Chinese university assembled a rack containing 48 [1] commercially available SBCs [2], each with a Chinese-designed and made SG2042 SoC with 64 C910 CPU cores. The C910 was designed in China in 2018/19 and open-sourced in October 2021, on Microsoft's github site.
https://github.com/T-head-Semi/openc910
The SG2042 is the most powerful RISC-V SoC available today.
In which direction is the technology transfer going?

Raspberry Pi receives strategic investment from Arm
For "coming down the pipeline" they're essentially free.
Today, the c910 is an Apache 2, hardware proven out of order core on GitHub here https://github.com/T-head-Semi/openc910 a little slower than an RPi3's core.

Lichee Pi 4A: Serious RISC-V Desktop Computing [video]
Here is the source code* for the CPU:

* AFAIK they didn't opensource the pre ratification vector extension implementation they ship with the taped out chip.

Beagleboard BeagleV-Ahead RISC-V brd released
The source RTL for the roughly Arm A72-equivalent cores used in this were open-sourced several years ago.
https://github.com/T-head-Semi/openc910
The same cores are used in the 64 core SG2042 workstation/server SoC.

ARM’s Cortex A53: Tiny but Important
It's a shame, because it was the best design from ARM; they're now focusing on Cortex-A7x and Cortex-X, which aren't anywhere as power efficient[0].
Meanwhile, their revised Cortex-A57 has been surpassed in performance/power/area by several RISC-V microarchitectures, such as SiFive's U74[1], used in the VisionFive2 and Star64, or even the open source XuanTie C910[2][3].
