Just How Good are Russian CPUs?

Once upon a time, Soviet computers held a leading position among their competitors. However, the collapse of the USSR completely decimated our high-tech production and now Russia can hardly boast of its computer industry. Nevertheless, at least ten Russian enterprises are currently engaged in the development and production of microprocessors. Now let’s look at the largest manufacturers of microelectronics in our country and the prospects for their further existence. We will pay special attention to two developments - processors from Baikal and Elbrus series. There is a certain mystical aura around them - some people claim that these companies are only stealing budget money, while others claim that their unique developments will allow these processors to become world leaders in the very near future. Let us get to the bottom of it. 00:00 Introduction 02:00 Elbrus & Baikal 05:41 Why are they bad 11:59 Why are they good Special thanks to my Patrons: Petar Ilic, Jordan LaMothe, Kirill Klimuk; Simon Böse; Steak221; Yelizaveta Zakharova; Adam Stakhanov; Devon Hodgson; Mike Pearce; Niels Dowgwillo; Osas; Ravenghast; Sarah McMaster; Triskelia; Petar Kerelov; Yuval Carmon; Peter Lassen; Jimmy Albin; Eli; Michael If you’d like to support the channel: 💵 Patreon (early access to videos) - 💵 Buy me a coffee - 🪙 BTC - bc1qh8szz62crxu9ylg2jx9dz3t6vzzjdw2rheft2m 🪙 ETH - 0x19F11A86adf1ec4DDebEC0f27982805B1d1aba67 🪙 Other crypto - Links: Discord - Twitter - Hey there. Somehow you found my video and decided to watch it. So let me introduce myself. I’m Sergei and I’m from Russia. My channel is about my native country. I want to tell English-speaking viewers about the real Russia, about its past and present. Unfortunately, you can find a lot of propaganda about Russia on the Internet, both from the Russian media and from the Western ones. I want to tell you about Russia, as it really is, the country in which I was born, grew up, and lived all my life. Free Stock Footage provided by and .
