According to Russia's "businessman" reported that the British side has recently included two major Russian processor developers: MCST and Baikal electronics in the sanctions list. In addition to freezing their assets, British enterprises will also be strictly controlled in providing technical services. The newspaper quoted experts as saying that this means that Russian enterprises will not be able to develop and manufacture processors based on ARM architecture.
The source said that the existing architecture authorization of Baikal electronics is still available, but due to the inability to obtain a new production license and the limitation of patent regulations, the foundry will not be able to legally provide manufacturing services for it. Russian enterprises such as Baikal electronics may be forced to turn to the development of risc-v and other open-source architecture processors. Such technical route reorganization will take many years and huge investment. (checked / < a > ZHU Zhilei)
