There's only Russian (Soviet) clone of 8086. There was some finished work on cloning 286 but they were never produced in series, since USSR collapsed.

- Tevo 1y agoDidn't one of the Elbrus CPUs have an x86 translation layer in hardware? Trying to get that to execute code at reasonable speeds, Transmeta style, to use as a replacement to western-supplied hardware wherever you have an explicit need for x86 wouldn't sound particularly far-fetched to me, if I didn't know so little about what's going on within Russia.
- anticodon 1y agoIt seems there's only software emulation of x86 on Elbrus.
