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.
