Russian PC there. And it's not a joke

We have long been accustomed to the idea that the Russian consumer microelectronics does not exist. There are military microelectronics, thanks to which the rocket fall right on target, operate nuclear power plants, fly GLONASS satellites and so on. As for the electronics at home, here it is all very sad. Meanwhile, something is produced, and it even has buyers.

In mid-May, the company MTSCT announced the immediate availability of PC-based Russian microprocessor "Elbrus 4C». This event is noteworthy that all the electronic components for the computer produced in Russia. In other words, it is really a Russian computer.

Here's how the manufacturer describes the advantages of the new computer:

Of course, the Russian computer still very far from even the medium of representatives from Intel, Asus, Lenovo and other manufacturers of microelectronics. The clock frequency of the processor "Elbrus 4C" - 800MHz, it has four cores, it is released 65 nm process. Basic OS is based on Linux kernel, but the computer is able to work with Windows XP.
