Oh I’m sure they are 486DX at best. Russia never could innovate worth a damn. If they Rev-engineer them too closely though they also build whatever we put in ours in theirs. And they likely can’t find what it is otherwise they could simply code it off.
“Oh I’m sure they are 486DX at best.”
They are 64bit 8 core ARM processors. They will be quite fast. I agree that their past expertise in computers sucks, but it looks like they acquired the tech for this and plan on building it into a profitable industry. I expect their recent alliance with China will be getting them some knowledgeable engineers too.
They could revive Red Star Linux while they are at it I guess. lol
Reminds me of a news article I read and cut out back in the early 1980s. There was a big international technology fair in Europe somewhere, and the Soviets were boasting about their own home-grown personal computers. Supposedly all Russian in design and manufacture. So a tech-savvy western reporter sat in front of the Soviet PC and tried it out. With a few keypresses he got into the system and displayed the contents of the ROM chips. All Apple-II machine code, including all the Apple copyrights embedded therein. Soviets slinked back to Moscow. Probably executed their chief computer scientist.
