Are Russian CPUs such as Elbrus still fabbed in Russia?

• mrweasel 4y ago
  They where using TSMC fabs, but obviously that's no longer the case. Russia currently don't have fab that goes beyond 90nm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikron_Group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikron_Group). There where plans to go to 28nm in 2030, but without access to western technologi that's not happening. The latest Elbrus is 28nm, so my guess is that they aren't made at all right now. Edit: The latest Elbrus chip that Russia can fab appears to be the Elbrus-2SМ, which is a 300MHz processor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbrus-2S%2B https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbrus-2S%2B

  No, Russia doesn't have factories this modern. Elbrus and Baikal (ARM) were made at TSMC.

    Baikal is MIPS, I think, but yes also TSMC.

      Apparently there are different models. Baikal-T1 is MIPS, -S and -M are ARM. https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baikal-M https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baikal-M
