Company “Baikal electronics” has published the roadmap of processors on the ARM architecture in 2016 and 2017. The road map includes three sets of processors which will extend the existing range of the company.
The first line is called the Baikal-M and is designed for desktop PCs, embedded systems, industrial automation, and smart cameras. SoC will receive up to eight-core ARMv8-A vector ARM Neon coprocessor and up to eight graphics cores, ARM Mali-T628. Engineering samples of the first series chips the company plans to introduce in the second half of 2016.
A series of Baikal-MS has a low energopotrebleniem and is designed for microservers and embedded systems. The chips will get up to eight-core ARMv8-A. the product line would be play in small two ports of 10GB Ethernet. The output of engineering samples of the first chips scheduled until the end of 2016.
A series of Baikal-S is intended for server hardware. Chips are on 16-nanometer process technology, will receive up to 32 cores ARMv8-A and the RAM interface HMC (Hybrid Memory Cube). It is planned that the power of microprocessors will not exceed 50 watts. Engineering samples should be out in late 2017.
Remind me, “Baikal electronics”, a subsidiary company “T-Platforms”, presented in may 2015 processor Baikal-T1 on MIPS architecture. The chip is positioned as Russia’s first processor created on the basis of 28-nanometer of technological process. In addition, it aims to become the first Russian chip, which was originally created not for defense purposes, and for commercial needs.
