Yesterday at the forum "Open Innovation" in Skolkovo presented processor Baikal BE-M1000. I held it in my hands and found out about his difficult fate.
The new processor is designed for workstations, miniserverov, embedded systems and industrial automation.
It is built on the ARM architecture. He computing 8, 8 graphics cores and a plurality of interfaces including four Ethernet (two 10 Gbps and two 1 Gb).
Housing FCBGA, size 40 × 40 mm.
The processor 1521 output.
Simultaneously with the processor provided the motherboard for him.
Baikal BE-M1000 contains more than 2 billion transistors, the chip area of 240 mm², the manufacturing technology of 28 nm.
Since the ARM architecture processor, it can run on different versions of the Linux operating system. I asked the question, whether run on Android it is planned and received a response that the plans are there, but not in the first place.
About the performance of Baikal BE-M1000 has not reported. Of course, if we compare it with the new processor architecture x86 (Intel and AMD), they will be much faster, but the Baikal is designed for other purposes where its performance is enough.
The first batch of the new processors was made in September of this year, although it was initially planned to release a new Baikal in 2016. It is reported that the development has been spent 2.3 billion rubles, with the state subsidy was received in the amount of 1.1 billion rubles.
Baikal BE-M1000 is manufactured in Taiwan at TSMC factory, it is based on computational kernels British company ARM, and yet he is a Russian, as a plurality of discrete components into a single design was collected in Russia (I talked about how to develop the first Baikal and made a report of the office development: ammo1.livejournal.com/708845.html).
At the presentation, which showed the way right from the board with Baikal processor that is connected to the big screen, reported that of boards and processor sets and even plan to sell at retail, and the kit will cost $ 500, and the $ 250 processor.

The main theme of my blog - Equipment for human life. I write reviews, share experiences, talk about all sorts of interesting things. My second project - lamptest.ru. I test LED lamps and help figure out which ones are good and which are not.
