Minpromtorg orders development of domestic processing

According publication "Kommersant", Ministry of Industry commissioned the development of a new domestic processor called Baikal, which is understanding the ministry must reduce its dependence on Russian state structures of production Intel and AMD.




Unlike existing domestic processors "Elbrus" specification "Baikal" look quite modern: a processor issue to be held in 2015, should be made on the topology of 28 nm, have 8 cores, the clock frequency of 2 GHz and built ... on workstations nuclei Cortex A-57. Accordingly, the processor is not designed for workstations (hence the apparent contradiction original idea Minpromtorga resignation from Intel and AMD), and is used in switches, routers, and a vague "computer science." The operating system of course Linux. And in 2016 we already have to wait 16 core processor on 16 nm process technology.

We already have a reservation performer - a company "Baikal Electronics' daughter specializing in the development of supercomputers" T-Platforms. " Actually on "T-Platforms" together with "Rusnano" project financing and lay down. The current budget for the project - 1, 2 billion. Rubles, here only that this amount is enough there are doubts.
It is not clear yet, and what will be done if the processor is in the territory of Russia, as production lines with 28 nm process technology we have. By the way, until the end of last year, "T-Platforms" is a list of organizations that banned the export of elemental base of the United States, as the company acting contrary to US national security. Now the restriction is removed. In summary, the project looks like a regular cut money to the purchase of ready-made solutions from abroad.

UPD. I changed the wording of the survey, it really was too biased. I apologize if someone jarred Processors "Baikal" is ...
