PCs with domestic Baikal-M processors are preparing to start sales in Russia

iRU announced plans to bring devices based on the Baikal-M chip to the Russian market in the first half of 2022. About this with reference to the technical director of the company Denis Antsiferov write "News".

The iRU representative also added that personal computers based on Baikal-M processors performance will be comparable to the relatively budget models of foreign vendors, working for Intel.

But the cost of devices with Russian chips will be somewhat more expensive - by 15-20%, when compared with HP or Lenovo models of similar characteristics.

According to Denis Antsifer, users want to buy Russian devices, and now they have become available to them. In addition, PCs based on domestic chips have prospects in the light of the ongoing shortage components in the global market associated with the pandemic and the crisis in the freight market, added iRU representative.

Ready-made PCs with domestic processors can be bought in large retail chains, one of which will be Citilink.

Recall that "Baikal-M" (BE-M1000) is a system-on-a-chip with 8 ARM Cortex-A57 cores and an 8-core Mali-T628 GPU. The chip is manufactured using TSMC's 28nm process.
