Blackmist,

Is OK, comrades. We can still make trusty Z80.

This seems to have become mandatory to all Russian stuff not related to the war.

eran_morad,

Fuck ‘em.

Chariotwheel,

The current owners of Baikal Electronics have no plans to reclaim the patents or developments. This is perhaps because Baikal used to develop CPUs and SoCs that were subsequently produced by TSMC, and the latter can no longer work with Russian companies due to export curbs imposed by the Taiwanese government following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022.

The future of Baikal Electronics remains uncertain. The company has not announced new processors for several years, and production was halted in February 2022 due to sanctions.

Oi, Putin, what was this about sanctions having no effect on the Russian economy?

Rinox,

They’ll develop their own 7nm chips, with hookers and blackjack!

In fact, forget the 7nm chips!

I think the only chips produced in Russia will be potato. If they can spare some for such luxury.

The tech is apparently so outdated that it’s next to worthless. What’s the $5m for? Funeral arrangements?

You might can use their equipment for manufacturing legacy products.

Treczoks,

The problem is: They don’t actually produce anything. They are fabless.

misterundercoat,

No, baby. You’re fabulous.

Tangent5280,

Wait, then what DO they do?

Treczoks,

They design the chips and the software needed to work with it. They write the code in a HDL (Hardware Definition Language) and test them in simulation runs, and when everything works, they synthesize the chips’ masks from it.

Tangent5280,

Oh, ok. So like an architect makes the blueprint and then sends it off to the engineers to build.

Treczoks,

Exactly.

Treczoks,

Office equipment. Maybe some nice PCs and servers.

Rinox,

Doubt that. It’s probably the value of the land and building.

li10,

Might as well sell it on storage wars.

Open the office door, let people take a peak, then they essentially gamble as to whether there’s anything of value and bid on it.

    Ain’t no thang bb gurl 👍

    misterundercoat,

    Maybe I can score a herman miller chair

    Tar_alcaran,

    Well, China, if you want a few chip-makers, i know a few slightly-used ones that used to belong to an old lady and have only ever been used for shopping trips.

    $1 dollar, Bob.

    SpaceNoodle,

    One dollar dollar?

    Bonesince1997,

    That’s right, Bob

    gnygnygny,

    Dollar Tree CPU

    MixedRaceHumanAI,

    I’ll buy that for a dollar!
