My bet is US is waiting for the perfect time , to block Russia from using Taiwan manufacturing industry .
So the whole project of balkai and elbrus will collapse as soon take off.
Russia semiconductor industry could be killed withing an hour in US Senate with a new Round
of Sanctions.  
 

Russia dual source the elbrus CPUs, the mil grade manufactured in Russia, the non important ones in Taiwan.

Same with Komdiv 32 and 64, various of Micron chips of 65nm and higher, Elvees chips of the same, etc.

It's funny but technically Russia has two FABS.  If you count the facility in Kaliningrad at GS technopolis, then 3.

The KOMDIV-64 (Russian: КОМДИВ-64) is a family of 64-bit microprocessors developed by the Scientific Research Institute of System Development (NIISI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences and manufactured by TSMC, UMC, GlobalFoundries, and X-Fab.

So where is Russian chips manufactured...  again??

TSMC =Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company...
UMC = United Microelectronics Corporation.. .Taiwan.
GlobalFoundries=  foundry headquartered in Santa Clara, California, United States.
X-Fab =  The X-FAB Silicon Foundries is a group of semiconductor foundries, with headquarters in Erfurt ,Germany.

Russia needs to be a real Independence nation.. and end its dependence on the west and its puppet allies
for technology..

"We need to monitor this, including the Communications Ministry," he said. "Moreover, these things are rather delicate, and when they use various technical arguments in the discussion, they say:" We can not do this with such parameters, but we can not work with such parameters, buy foreign ... ". It is very difficult to assess this. But it is advisable to take experts from this industry, so that they subscribe to the fact that a particular software can not be used on this or that equipment. If experts independent of the company, including the state-owned company, said that our software is not good, then you need to buy. But I would ask you to follow this very carefully. "

for Elbrus based supercomputers to be widely adopted by subsidizing them.   Don't waste the effort of office PCs.   I bet
the original plan fell apart because idiots decided to fight in the PC Office market instead of market where it made sense.

SOCHI, February 15th. / TASS /. AFK Sistema and Rostek have completed the technical aspects of setting up a joint venture in the field of microelectronics, it remains to settle a number of procedural issues, Vladimir Yevtushenkov, the main shareholder of Sistema, told journalists on the sidelines of the Russian Investment Forum in Sochi.

"We created [a joint venture with Rostekh]. We will issue a government decree, and it will be considered that we created it," Yevtushenkov said. According to him, technical details have already been negotiated, "procedural things remained."

The JV includes seven enterprises from the AFK side: the assets of the NIIME Group (part of the RTI concern) and the assets of Micron. On the part of Rostekh, the joint venture included 15 enterprises of the RosElectronics group of companies.
In June of this year, AFK Sistema and Russian Electronics (part of the Rostekh state corporation) signed an agreement on intentions to create a joint company in the field of microelectronics. It was assumed that AFC will get control in the joint venture. Then it was noted that the deal to create the merged company is supposedly to be closed before the end of the first quarter of 2018. However, at the end of 2017, the head of Rostek, Sergei Chemezov, said that the state corporation had frozen the project with AFK Sistema to unite the assets in the electronics sector because of courts of the AFC with Rosneft.

MOSCOW, June 28. / TASS /. Russia now occupies only 0.3% of the world electronics market. However, for the successful development of the digital economy in the future, the country needs to increase its share to 3% by 2035, said Ivan Pokrovsky, Executive Director of the Association of Electronics Developers and Manufacturers (ARPE) at the conference "Russian Electronics: Finding New Growth Points".

According to him, the task of the state in this situation is to adjust the regulation in such a way that there is an opportunity for creative competition, "compensating" a little for the backlog of Russian companies from foreign companies at the start. Pokrovsky believes that it is necessary to make the electronics industry in Russia profitable (now it is subsidized).

"0.3% of the world market is the level from which you can only roll down." The industry can not develop with modern requirements of scale of activity if we occupy a minimum of 3% of the world market. We need to somehow overcome this gap. a ticket to the development of technology, "Pokrovsky said, stressing that without this it will be impossible to successfully develop the digital economy in the future.

Now in the global electronics market the situation is such that a number of transnational companies "take all investment resources from the market, others do not have anything left," the expert added.

In his view, for the successful development of Russian electronics, it is necessary to identify 6-8 priority areas and ensure the emergence of 12 companies with billions of turnover, the total revenue of which should be 25 billion rubles. "These are the guidelines that we need to adjust to," Pokrovsky said.

One of the indicators that the state "correctly adjusted development," will be an increase in investment in the electronics industry of distribution companies, system integrators and telecom operators and other IT services. When such companies become profitable to invest in development and production, the industry will develop very quickly, Pokrovsky is sure.

Assistant to the President of the Russian Federation Andrey Belousov, commenting on the situation, noted that the support of Russian electronics by the state up to the present moment was reduced to subsidizing various kinds of expenses. "It's clear that such a support model is running out pretty quickly," he said. "A year ago, we connected another form, an attempt to consolidate state demand and focus it on Russian producers."

He specified that this mechanism was only concerned with microelectronics. "We have one and a half enterprises there -" Mikron "and" Angstrom-T "as a half," Belousov said.

Now, in his opinion, the situation is changing, and it is necessary to define "the forms of development that need to be created in the next three to five years." Belousov suggested that representatives of the electronics industry within a week prepare proposals for the regulation of the program for the development of the digital economy of Russia, which will be considered on July 5 at the Presidential Council on Strategic Development and Priority Projects.

In addition, Belousov also proposed the creation of a working group of developers and electronics manufacturers, which will develop its proposals to increase import duties on electronics. He did not rule out that in case of urgent need it is possible to introduce temporary duties at the level of Russia.

Chances to reach 3% exist
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company "Altonika radio systems" Alexander Sheptovetsky believes that Russia has a chance to increase its share to 3% in the global electronics market. "But in the world of electronics, there are three trends - auto electronics, gadgets, IoT (Internet of things - ed., TASS), we do not have much of anything in auto electronics, we can move there, but we will not be in time for global players.In the field of gadgets, we need to move to the market, and this is mainly South-East Asia - it's also hard with our conditions, regulators, etc. It remains IoT - Russia in this area can take its place, "he said.

Vasily Brovko, the director for special assignments of the state corporation Rostek, said that the problem of Russian electronics is that it is not competitive in terms of product characteristics, and for its development it is necessary to actively include partnerships and buy Russian players. "If we do not grow at this rate (22.5% per year) and we do not reduce the difference in size between us and our competitors, we will simply be absorbed at some point," he said.

At the same time, Russian electronics should be supplied not only to the domestic market, but also to the international market, Brovko believes. To do this, Russian electronics need, first of all, to increase their own efficiency, as well as develop new products and key technologies.

The program currently under development for the development of the digital economy in Russia will provide "the maximum multiplier effect for the Russian industry," Brovko believes. "There will be no Russian industry if it is not digital, if it does not meet the current challenges of the 21st century, and these challenges are electronics," he stressed.

Consortia are needed
Andrei Bezrukov, the strategic marketing director of the GS Group holding, is confident that the basis of the digital economy is electronics. "It is quite difficult to build an independent international subject Russia by 2035, without advanced technology, without making a bet on Russian electronics," he said. In addition, it is important for the digital economy to create communities and consortia, Bezrukov added.

The need to create consortia in the development of the digital economy in the framework of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in June this year, said the head of the Center for Strategic Research Alexei Kudrin. He noted that, according to the organization, in the next two to three years in Russia, it is necessary to create from 15 to 20 such consortia.

Bezrukov believes that the goal - to take 3% of the world electronics market by 2035 - should be fixed at the legislative level. "Obviously, if we want Russia as a leader and an independent country in 2035, we need to attend to it now." We are not on the threshold, we have already completely plunged into this new world, "he said. Earlier GS Group together with other large private players of the Russian electronics industry - Zelax, Atol, Etalon Factory and Svyaz Engineering - created ARPE, whose goal is to develop the industry and dialogue with the state.

"We, as an investor, have already invested more than 6 billion rubles in the creation and production, and competencies, several thousand jobs, training of personnel." We are ready to invest the same order of magnitude in the case if Russia really does appear (the goal is to achieve 3% of the world electronics market - Ed. Tass), "Bezrukov added.

Requires project office
According to Bezrukov, to improve business interaction with ministries and departments, it is necessary to create a project office within the government of the Russian Federation for the development of information technology, electronics and the digital economy. "We believe that this initiative is timely, it will improve coordination and help implement many programs, including the program for the development of Russia's digital economy," he said.

According to ARPE, there are more than 3,000 companies (developers and manufacturers) in the electronics industry in Russia, about 500 of them are controlled by the state, the rest - private. The annual sales of electronic equipment are estimated at $ 10 billion.

TASS together with the Association of Developers and Electronics Manufacturers are the organizers of the conference "Russian Electronics: Finding New Points of Growth".

Look, I understand you wish for Russia to have all these mega corporations to appear everywhere around the world.  But judging by your comments, you seem to really lack basic concept of world affairs.  You think its equal trade.  It isn't.  NAFTA exists as a method to have control of the auto market between countries of Canada, US and Mexico.  Hence why here in Canada you do not see Renault, Datsun, Tata Motors, Ashok Leland, Mahindra, Great Wall, or other motor brands.

Lets be real here, Russia already has its Toyota.  Its called Avtovaz.
