Same. This seems to be the SoC and board I have been waiting a long time for.
Do not forget to preorder, to get the unbelievably low price listed in their announcement.
It should be fun to play with it this summer, and further down the line it will become my home server, replacing an old atom board that's considerably weaker.
That's mostly enabled by the builtin I/O (pcie slots, sata ports...).

I don't know much about the RISC-V ecosystem at the moment, but what do you consider an "unbelievably low price"?
They SoC appears to be £5 to pre-order (EDIT: £5 is for a 20% off coupon), but the motherboard to use it on appears to be ~£1200. Is this considered a good deal for RISC-V right now?
+1 on your initial comment. Exactly how I feel about the current situation.
MilkV Oasis with SG2380 would be the end-game for majority of developers, but they are definitely loosing money if they keep starting price at 120 USD. They don't have it frozen (they changed the SoC specification some weeks ago) thus I wouldn't be surprised to see this slip into 2025. I wouldn't be surprised if this outperforms MilkV Pioneer.
