    Phoronix: Benchmarks Of Russia's "Baikal" MIPS-Based Processors, Running Debian Linux

    A few years back was the news of Russia wanting to get into the CPU business and at the time were aiming for ARM-based processors but ended up settling for MIPS. It turns out those "Baikal" processors are still around and being worked on as indicated by some fresh benchmarks this week...

    Da! With Russian Bear Processor we are making fastest processing for Tsar Putin and Rodina!

    Beware Western Pigs! Russian Bear Processor will hack your imperialist elections!

      Lazy troll, with more than a hint of racism. Also, there's a difference between some private citizens allegedly hacking some emails, and a "hacking an election". The only people caught hacking an election recently were Diebold.

        Yeah Baikal-M should be ARM, but T1 is MIPS




        5 Watts, 28 nm... maybe to be compared with two core AMD Temash or something low power like that

        It looks like probably someone just runs this SDK 4.13 on phoronix suite

        Or some of these Debian 9 special builds or something

          I think he is just joking, too much hyperbole to be taken seriously.

            The biggest disadvantage is the 28nm node. I hope there would be more international chip makers to compete on the international market. When it comes to CPUs, the market is dominated by the big names

              Dude, Russia is authoritarian not communist. The CCCP is dead. In other words, Putin is one Imperialist Pig as well. Thus, your statement does not compute due to contradictory statements.

                8-0
                WHERE THE FUCK did you get this 'Russian Champaign'??? 8-0
                Also, how do you know about this Baikal thingy? i don't remember it's ever been advertised anywhere outside of Russia anyway?

                  Someone benchmarked it with Micheael's OpenBenchmarking, Micheael noticed that it was not yet another x86 system and looked it up.

                  Although it's kinda well-known that both China and Russia have their own processor projects.

                    Yep. Russia also has MCST manufacturer that makes kinda-decent SPARC processors. But nobody needs SPARC processors these days, so they're not mass-produced and that makes them cost like 5x what processors normally would.

                    They also have their own VLIW architecture called Elbrus, which nobody really cares about because it's VLIW and they never managed to write a compiler for it. (Not that it's easy; it took the combined budget of Intel and HP to do that for Itanium, and even that was a flop). Elbrus is super fast if you're OK with programming it in VLIW assembler though. Just forget running Linux or anything else that's already written. Edit: disregard that, they have a gcc 3.x port now

                    Now China is getting into x86 processors through some sneaky partnership with VIA, and that might be interesting. RISC-V projects are also worth keeping an eye on.

                    Edit: huh, Elbrus now advertises x86 emulation on their VLIW, similar to what Transmeta did back in the day. It worked very poorly on Itanium though. Curious, I wonder if that makes them the 4th x86 CPU manufacturer.
