The cost of Russian "Elbrus" and "Baikal" processors has skyrocketed – since the beginning of the year, it has increased by an average of two times. The reason for this is problems with production: let us recall that after the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions, TSMC refused to fulfill orders from Russian companies.
The reduction in production volumes, coupled with increased demand from Russian manufacturers of servers, data storage systems and PCs, has led to a sharp increase in prices. On the website of one of the largest Russian electronics stores, Baikal processors have risen in price to 9 thousand rubles (an increase of 55%). This forces Russian hardware developers to switch to using imported components and lose preferences in government procurement.
Moving CPU production to Russia would solve the problem, but this is currently impossible due to the lack of suitable equipment: the processors are designed for production according to 28-nanometer process technology, and the equipment currently available in Russia can produce a maximum of 65-nanometer chips. Suitable equipment for the production of "Elbrus" and "Baikal" in Russia will appear, according to forecasts, only by 2030.
