There are some chip factories with old node sizes. I think they're used for military or something like this. There are plans to build more modern chip factories, but I doubt that they'll materialize.
Russia has good experience in designing CPUs, but they relied on Taiwan to produce those.
Probably the most likely scenario for future is that they'll continue designing CPUs and will print them on Chinese fabs. China has huge investments.
- flohofwoe 4y agoI've been actually wondering recently: how much of a "chip design and manufacturing edge" does a country need for military equipment? I would guess things like targeting systems and radars don't need the latest CPU or GPU technology, but how far can one go back, where's the "edge of diminishing returns" for military chip designs? Late 80's? Late 90's?
