Domestic "Elbrus" will decrease in size and become much more powerful

January 27 2020 25

In December of this year, all development work on the domestic chip of the new generation Elbrus-16C will be completed. Serial production of the processor may begin as early as 2022. At the same time, unlike its predecessors, the latest CPU will be created using a 16 nm process. This was announced on the eve of the press service of the ICST.

The report said that the end of the development of the chip is scheduled for late December 2021. Then, before half a year, the process of setting up for production will take. Thus, the release of the Elbrus-16S CPU with hardware visualization support should begin in the second half of 2022.

It is worth noting that the Taiwanese company TSMC will most likely produce a domestic 16-nanometer processor. At the moment, Russia does not have the opportunity to produce microelectronics using a process technology of less than 65 nm.

Meanwhile, already in the second half of this year, MCST JSC plans to launch a series of an improved version of the Elbrus-8C processor. The upgraded chip, called "Elbrus-8SV", will receive a core clock frequency of up to 1,5 GHz and support for DDR4-2400 RAM up to 64 GB. Plus, the processor will become much more productive, thanks to an increase in the number of operations processed per cycle from 25 to 48.

Why Taiwan? Or buy technology education is not enough? Or only our government can sell advanced technologies, and the rest can only be technological products? And so for 20 years in a row!

Not so and not so tasks are posed. Can't create in 20 years - Buy technology ..
If you can’t buy it, steal the technology ...

Microelectronics is a critical area for our state, and the dependence on other states must be gradually reduced, creating our own modern production facilities, and constantly buying microprocessors and other components abroad is the wrong approach.

What nonsense, Mikron has long mastered the 24 Nm printing process. Moreover, the manager said that with appropriate funding, they are able to launch a 7 Nm technical process, the question is in the volume of the order. It is unrealistic to compete with TSMC, and everything is controlled by the West.

16nm processor

Americans, it seems, are already working with 5-nanometer. Interestingly, they will reach 1 nanometer, what's next? The end of progress? Or will you have to come up with a new word? Micronanometer or nanometer?

  Do not reach. With a track thickness of 1 micron, the chip simply simply ceases to function normally (purely physically). The future is with quantum computers.

produce domestic 16nm processormost likely will taiwanese TSMC company. For now Russia has no opportunity release microelectronics in a process technology less than 65 nm

Here it is, the steepness of the caliber (or the steepness caliber).

Cool, no matter how you think ....

Taiwan is an ally of the United States, and there is no point in establishing production there ... It would be much more useful to buy a turnkey plant in China and place production in the Russian Federation ... if the supposedly effective managers in the Kremlin themselves brought the country to the point that it developed its own developed industry doesn't have ...

  Then, maybe it is better to buy all of China on a turn-key basis? Then both production capacities and labor will appear. And the Russians will be able to continue to boast and beat the bacilli.

    - while it turns out the opposite. In terms of economy, Russia cannot compete with China.

let's get to the point

I give.
The economy of the country (any, in this case, Russia) cannot be raised
1) buying what you need abroad,
2) when ordering individual items or goods abroad, and / or
3) buying individual plants abroad.

You need to have your own, which China has, as well as many other countries.
In post-2000 Russia, the real sector of the economy has not been raised to the required level. Hence such a dependence on everything "because of the hillock".

And my comment, on which you got so much anger, is just a banter.
Excuse me if I offended you, but the idea of buying factories in China (at least on a turn-key basis, at least a lock) seems like no less ridiculous nonsense.

Well, as for the swagger and beating of bucks, these are (in my opinion) primordial scourges that do not allow Russian people to rise to a truly decent level of development, and most importantly, to gain a foothold on it.
Hence the periodic fall to the knees, and the further rise from them.

  But Comrade Stalin just raised the economy and technology, buying individual plants. It would be a desire.
  And China does not have it. The United States invested in them with technology and money (as before - the USSR). Otherwise, they would have eaten sparrows.

For the curious:
here is a table of the lithography process in nm and ICs (processors) on them:

https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/65_nm_lithography_process

The development of 65 nm technology took place in 2005, then Russia had the opportunity to buy this technology. Now, due to sanctions, (or competition) no one will sell.

  A bit wrong. The used line was purchased in 2010 and was in stock for several years, as could not mount and organize production.
  So, the problem is not sanctions, but the fact that the actual plant costs several billion dollars and Russia simply does not need it - there is nothing to load it, there is no market, no specialists, no materials. He will never pay off.

    You’re right, I didn’t realize that the plant will do the quantity that Russia needs in 1 month, and then what? Cheaper to buy. I read somewhere that around the world there are about 30 lithographic super-duper factories that supply all countries with chips and processors. Ordering from them is cheaper than collecting from scratch.

  No, this is not a disgrace.
  It is a shame that there is no elementary domestic element base - and even the same capacitors.
  Or try to buy a domestic soldering iron or multimeter - this is a disgrace.

This has already been discussed a thousand times everywhere.
2) It’s better not to look at the price in the internet, for this money I can buy 3 full-fledged Comp with screens ...
1) In real life, this is someone else's percent, on which there is a stamp "Elbrus", and even then not in Russian + some other little things in architecture ... (again, based on discussions on the internet)

In general, this is somewhere far away from us and still not true (remember the first domestic digital cameras with hype ...)

Hardware visualization is Hardware rendering and it is not a novelty at all, but the author really mixed up virtualization and visualization.
And I didn’t write about important things at all - integration into the south bridge processor, hardware support for virtualization in Intel x86-64 codes, vectorization of up to 48 flops per cycle.

will receive a core clock frequency of up to 1,5 GHz and support for DDR4-2400 RAM up to 64 GB.

“I don’t even know whether to cry or laugh.” When marking a phone on the 2017 processor, the Kirin 970 was manufactured using 10-nanometer technology, has an area of about 1 cm2 and contains 5,5 billion transistors. The configuration of this SoC includes four ARM Cortex-A73 cores and four ARM Cortex-A53 cores, united according to the familiar big.LITTLE scheme. The first processor cluster will operate at a frequency of up to 2,4 GHz, and the second - up to 1,8 GHz., LPDDR4 support - this is a telephone and today it is already outdated !!!!!!
