Back then these were designed specifically for government agencies within Russia. Suppliers weren’t allowed to ship them outside of Russia unless you could prove it was for certain research projects. I found someone that was willing to buy a Elbrus motherboard and ship it to me, it got stuck at Russian customs and returned to the sender - fortunately he managed to return it to the supplier and I got my money back.
- trhway 6y agogiven the interest to the platform, it seems somebody in Russia can run a niche business - an Elbrus CPU cloud service, i.e. a garage with a bunch of Elbrus-es (though it is pretty pricey - the 1-4 socket systems with Elbrus 8S cost $5-$20K) Btw, couple months ago MCST established an official public forum for Elbrus users/partners/etc. Mostly in Russian, though most people there would understand English too. That is performance numbers - various Elbrus-es vs. i7 2600 - posted by a user there http://forum.elbrus.ru/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=6193 http://forum.elbrus.ru/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=6193
