"Now Available" must mean something different to SiFive than it does to me. When I click the links in the press release that purport to let me acquire one, they all say "No Stock Available," which means the opposite of "Now Available" to me.

They weren't loading at all earlier, though, so saying that I can't get one but showing me the price I can't get it at is some kind of improvement, I guess.




SiFive sent out an email on about the 32GB boards:

> The Grinch struck a little early this year. While the 16GB HIFive Premier P550 boards are in stock at Arrow.com and available now we were so excited to tell you the news we pushed the send button too soon. If you tried to order a 32GB board after yesterday's announcement our distributor is not quite ready. Our sincerest apologies to any of you who experienced difficulties and for multiple emails. We expect this problem to be solved in the next few days and we will send an update as soon as the 32GB boards are available. Thank you for your patience.


32 GB is out of stock.

16 GB (which is enough for a quad core, IMO) is $399 with "375 in stock, ships tomorrow"

I ordered a Milk-V Megrez (same ship but 1.8 GHz vs 1.4 GHz here) for $100 less a week ago. The price difference was much bigger then!


Nice. When I looked, the page took forever to load and said 16GB was out of stock as well. I'm tempted by the 16GB board.


Right now, the 16 GB page is saying "368 parts: Ships tomorrow". SO that's 7 sold since my previous message.

Unless they sold all 375 from yesterday and have restocked since your message. Which strikes me as unlikely.


presumably that means that they had stock and then sold through all of it basically instantly.
