The article mentions a "RISC-V Milk-V processor" with many slow cores. Milk-V is a distributor that doesn't make any processors. My guess is that this line is referring to the Sophgo SG2042 on the Milk-V Pioneer, which is older hardware that has 64 cores.

Yup it’s confirmed to be a milk-v pioneer on the link from the embedded video page https://box86.org/2026/01/new-box64-v0-4-0-released/

Definitely not the latest and greatest RISC-V, interestingly a new Milk-V board was announced quite recently which will use the new spacemit K3 chip.
