A Russian firm announced its intention to build its own homegrown CPUs ,dubbed the Elbrus-4C, it was fully designed and developed in Moscow Centre of SPARC Technologies (MCST). It's claimed to be the most high-tech processor ever built in Russia. They claim it is comparable with Intel's Core i3 and Intel Core i5 processors, although they do not say which generation they are(most likely first gen) and claimed it could manage a blistering 1.3 GHz which is slightly less than an average mobile phone.

MCST unveiled a new PC, the Elbrus ARM-401 which is powered by the Elbrus-4C chip and runs its own Linux-based Elbrus operating system. MCST claimed it can run Windows and Linux distributions. The company has built a data centre server rack, the Elbrus-4.4, which is powered by four Elbrus-4C microprocessors and supports up to 384GB of RAM.

MCST said the Elbrus-4.4 is suitable for web servers, database servers, storage systems, servers, remote desktops and high-performance clusters.

They are ARM based CPU's and they aren't even comparable to a Pentium 4

They placed a HD6970 and couldn't even run Doom3 at higher than 40fps.

I have a source but it's Dutch.

Nonetheless still nice that Russia can build something like this.

Sorry to burst your bubble but CPUs don't grow on trees mate ... sarcasm ...

Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...

From what I know of Russian copyright and patent laws, I assume it will be an exact copy and paste of the intel I3 and I5

I'm impressed that you didn't go with the obvious.

Sorry but no.

 

Will it's nice that they made a CPU but it's ARM so not even close to x86 which will run circles around it.

Interesting.

 

No offense meant to Russians, I'd just been told they had virtually non-existent copyright and patent laws.Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, especially when you consider that companies in the US use them to turn our government into a modern day SS

Either google translate sucks, or that's just a terrible attempt at an insult lol (b*tch f**k?)

I actually do hope they get somewhere with this. More competition is always good. :)

It's has become kind of a habit for the russians to scream out their shallow attempts for "homegrown" CPU design. This one is just another hot-air pseudo-patriotic swag, by the way.

 

The best means for production they have now is an outdated 65nm manufacturing line, for bulk low-performance designs. It can be used to produce chips in short runs for some super secret military equipment, but there's no way to compete with this on the mass market. For this they need, at first, a working market economy under the rule of law, not annexing territories from neighbouring countries.

A lot of countries around the world are starting to make their own computer hardware, routers and operating systems for governmental use because it's assumed that all of the US based companies build back doors into their products.

Could be. But I was referring specifically to the russians playing CS:GO.

 

And goddamn, I love the Metro franchise.

Who doesn't? lol

 

I know when I heard the rumor that one of the people working on the next metro game supposedly used the word "sandbox" I reacted with this face
