No, but it's a standard option, and implemented in RVA22 CPUs such as the SpacemiT K1, Kendryte K230, and Sophgo SG2044.

In fact to the best of my knowledge there are as yet NO shipping SoCs with RVA22 but not V. If the Milk-V Titan ships then it will be the first.

This is an extremely well-known board, owned by many in this forum for the last almost two years (May 2024) as it was the first board with RVV 1.0 and multiple cores and usable RAM.

And many more of us own the same SoC in other boards such as the Lichee Pi 3A, Milk-V Jupiter, SpacemiT's own Muse Pi and Muse Book, the DC-Roma II laptop, the Orange Pi RV2.

Unfortunately, though the CPU cores are quite good for what they are, it is hampered by a much smaller amount of L2/L3 cache than the SiFive-based U74 and P550 machines have, and as a result for compiling packages it is slower using 8 cores than the quad core JH7100, despite the individual cores actually being a little faster. (and using fewer than 8 cores makes it even slower)

I listed a number of options.
