Rosatom has started testing the domestic PC "Bober" on the processor "Baikal"

Due to the tense geopolitical situation and the sanctions policy of the West, Russian companies are beginning to switch to domestic electronics. Such an approach will not only spur Russian manufacturers, but also provide additional security for critical data.

As it became known, Rosenergoatom (the energy division of Rosatom) has started testing the domestic PC Bober on the Baikal processor. At the moment, the company has purchased a "trial" batch of devices, but in the future it plans to completely switch to these devices, the press service of Rosenergoatom reports.



Recall that the Russian company Delta Computers is engaged in the production of personal computers "Beaver". The device operates on the domestic processor "Baikal-M", developed on the basis of the ARM architecture. The chip is created using a 28-nanometer process technology and has 8 cores up to 1,5 GHz.

The manufacturer's website indicates that the case of the system unit is produced in mini format. The PC configuration depends on the needs of the customer. The manufacturer claims support for up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM and up to 16 TB of SSD + HDD physical memory. The site also talks about the possibility of connecting low-profile video cards via a PCIe 3.0x8 connector.


The case has almost all commonly used connectors, including 6 USB: 2 generations 3.0 and 4 more - 2.0, as well as HDMI.

The above assembly operates on operating systems from Base Alt and ASTRA.

According to Oleg Shalnov, head of the IT project management and integration department at Rosenergoatom, the company's transition to computers operating on domestic chips is an extremely important step that will ensure technological independence for such an important industry as nuclear energy.

    What's the point? Baikal-M were made in Taiwan. No longer produced due to sanctions. There are no productions at 28 nm in Russia.

      What was made in Taiwan, measured in Nm, can be made in China. Another thing is that CHIPs made according to Western AMD or x86 architectures have inherent vulnerabilities.
      Rosatom, by the way, acquired the developer Elbrus. For industrial and military needs, size 64Nm - "above the roof". The main problems in this industry are in our own officials, who do not give orders and do not allow developers to look ahead. And Intel and AMD and Chinese assemblies are lobbying.

        1. China is currently refusing, no contracts have been signed with it.
        2. The better the technical process, the better the performance characteristics of the product. You can make a chip with less power consumption and size, which will make the homing head smaller, which means you can cram more fuel or explosives. You can give more power, which will allow you to hit more accurately and better weed out false targets, etc. All these will suffice, only from poverty. The better the technology, the better for the military. Especially now with the transition to robotic armies. With armies of UAVs, and other things.

          Not certainly in that way. The thinner the technical process, the more vulnerable the electronics become. What works in a smartphone is not a fact that it will work in the GOS. And even in some kind of caliber. No wonder there are different requirements for the use of electronic components in various fields.

            On the contrary, the thinner the technical process, the more stable the electronics.
            Another myth is that modern technical processes are less radiation-resistant

            The chance of getting an error in a particular transistor is proportional to its volume, and it decreases rapidly with decreasing technology (because transistors become not only smaller in area, but also thinner). In addition, an anomalous increase in radiation resistance with modern thicknesses of gate dielectrics (3 nm or less) was noted.

            In general, modern stable technical processes (65nm and less) routinely produce microcircuits that can withstand a radiation dose of 1 million rad, which exceeds all reasonable requirements for durability. Resistant to latch and software errors - achieved through triple-well and special architectural solutions.

          Everything is so, but this does not mean that you do not need to produce anything, but wait for the most advanced technologies to appear. Well, the GOS will not weigh 1kg, but 2, so what? The charge means it will be 29kg instead of 30. Naturally, in parallel with production, more advanced technologies should be brought up.

          On the other hand, we simply do not fully know how the processor works. At least take the branch prediction system and data prefetching, it usually goes as a trade secret.
          Here the problem is different - how to activate the bookmarks embedded in the processor? It may be in an isolated circuit. which cannot be reached. And after the incident at Iranian nuclear facilities, even ours could draw the appropriate conclusions. I understand that this sounds strange.

            In chips, no one in their right mind will make bookmarks, this is stupid and pointless, firstly, it is difficult to keep such information secret within the company and it will leak sooner or later, and secondly, these bookmarks will be found by reversers who do just that.

      In order to move faster for the development of domestic electronics, it is necessary for all ministers, their deputies, assistants, secretaries, as well as for all governors and all their states, to install computers on domestic components, even on lamps!

          Until March 2022, the Baikal and Elbrus processors were produced by the Taiwanese company TSMC. In 2022, foreign companies producing processors on orders from Russia refused to fulfill these orders and ship already produced chips due to international sanctions[62].

        And what were they thinking about then? Amazing.


        For example, Baikal-M has 16 PCIe lanes (configuration 8+4+4) and up to four network interfaces can be implemented: two more 10-gigabit ones can be “attached” to two gigabit ones (using additional PHY controllers). By comparison, the 1100 AMD Opteron A2016 is the same eight Cortex-A57 cores, but at 2GHz, no video, PCIe x8, two built-in 10Gb/s Ethernet interfaces, and a full 14 SATA ports. In general, the solutions are comparable, although AMD released such a processor much earlier. And both are designed for the TSMC 28-nanometer process technology - localization of semiconductor production in Russia, even according to such standards, is still impossible. So last fall, Baikal-M received the status of an integrated circuit of domestic production of only the second level (in the terminology of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 9, 2016 No. 764) - it is still far from the first level, involving, in particular, production on the territory of the Russian Federation. To all developers. But if nothing is developed, then there will be nothing to produce.

        I am not a marketer, but the Apple is a symbol of biblical temptation and at the same time a fairly well-known associative symbol of freshness, taste and conciseness. From the point of view of simplicity and effectiveness of influencing the brains of the layman, this symbol is very good, like other things that cause mostly positive and unambiguously interpreted narrow-minded associations from everyday life.
        Here, after all, an important point - with what should the average person have associations for successful sales? With something pleasant and everyday, or with reliability, or with some professional associations, climate, or with some images associated with key elements of the product, etc.
        What the "Beaver" is connected with is not clear to me as a layman - this symbol causes me associative chains with building materials, wood, something simple and I would say "clumsy".
        As a rule, associations torn off from the purpose of the product or from emotional and aesthetic chains cause a mixture of caution and irony, and as long as this is not a cheap product, it will be in the "-" from the point of view of consumer choice.

        Of course, for departmental needs it could be called anything, even "GZHE665", but do not underestimate the subtle emanations of marketing - if we want to go beyond the boundaries of our market. And we will have to. Therefore, the "beaver" is bad, the brand must be grown and thought through, this is not some kind of garbage for a couple of years of release.

    2. The better the technical process, the better the performance characteristics of the product. You can make a chip with less power consumption and size, which will make the homing head smaller, which means you can cram more fuel or explosives. You can give more power, which will allow you to hit more accurately and better weed out false targets, etc. All these will suffice, only from poverty. The better the technology, the better for the military. Especially now with the transition to robotic armies. With armies of UAVs, and other things.

    The use of certain chips is dictated, among other things, by the expediency and cost of the product at the output for mass production, the criticality of the characteristics. In some functional modules, a simple but reliable element base is quite enough.

            That's all about the chips "not supplied" to Russia. And about "not produced in Russia" microelectronics.
