The Milk-V Jupiter2 is a compact computer powered by an eight-core SpacemiT K3 RISC-V processor with significant performance improvements over its predecessor, featuring AI capabilities, extensive connectivity options, and support for multiple operating systems.

The Milk-V Jupiter2 is a compact computer powered by a SpacemiT K3 processor with an eight-core RVA23 compliant RISC-V processor, Imagination BXM-4-64-MC1 graphics, and support for up to 60 TOPS of AI performance. Compared with the original Milk-V Jupiter, the new model should bring big CPU, GPU, and AI performance boosts. It also supports faster wired networking. But it also features a smaller board than the mini ITX-sized Jupiter, and the new Jupiter2 loses the dedicated PCIe x8 slot found on its predecessor.

Available for pre-order for $300 and up, the computer consists of a 100 x 86mm (3.9" x 3.4") board that comes with an aluminum enclosure and built-in fan. The board supports up to 32GB of onboard LPDDR5-6400 memory, and supports up to 256GB of UFS storage as well as an M.2 2280 slot that can be used for a PCIE 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD, among other things.

There's also onboard support for WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 and a nano SIM slot that you can use if you use the board's M.2 2242/3042 (PCIe Gen 3 x2) slot for a cellular radio.

Ports include:

  • 1 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ LAN
  • 1 x Gigabit Ethernet
  • 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (10 Gbps w/DisplayPort Alt Mode and 65W USB-PD input)
  • 4 x USB 2.0 Type-A (480 Mbps)
  • 1 x eDP (Embedded DisplayPort)

Other features include connectors for an RTC battery, fan, and audio devices, as well as an I/O expansion connector for additional modules. There's also a 2-pin connector for an ATX power supply.

Milk-V says the board supports Ubuntu 26.04, OpenHarmony 6.0, and other operating systems including Fedora, Deepin, OpenKylin, and Bianbu 3.0. For more information about the Milk-V Jupiter2, you can visit their official product page or check out the specifications in their documentation.

The Jupiter2 represents an interesting development in the RISC-V ecosystem, offering a complete computing solution that showcases the potential of open-source instruction set architecture. While it may not replace traditional x86-based mini PCs for general computing tasks, its combination of RISC-V processing, AI capabilities, and competitive pricing makes it particularly attractive for developers, researchers, and hobbyists interested in exploring alternative computing platforms.
