How does the quad-core 64-bit RISC-V processor used perform? Genuinely curious to know how to compares to a modern ARM cellphone chip, for example.

I have two of these boards which are part of the Fedora build system (see http://fedora.riscv.rocks/koji/). The performance is fine for light development, but they're not blazingly fast -- and we don't expect that, it's the first development board available only in small quantities. The chip itself is an in-order design, something like the A53.
If you can take one of those boards off of build duty for long enough (maybe half an hour?), it would be interesting to see the results of a UnixBench [1] run.
