Since the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States and other countries have exerted pressure on many companies, and many companies have had to withdraw from Russia, including some chip giants, such as Samsung, Intel, AMD and so on.
Chip giant withdrawal from Russia, for the Russian side is a very big trouble, Russia 90% of the chips for civilian science and technology, and Russia's domestic chip product process is not high, it is difficult to meet the needs of the Russian industry, in the long run, some Russian industries may be paralyzed.
In order to cope with the impact of Russia's domestic chip shortage, Russia intends to focus on supporting chip companies. According to Russian media reports, Russia is considering the mcst and Baikal electronics two major chip design institutions into the backbone enterprises, once included in the list of backbone enterprises, representative enterprises will receive low-interest unsecured loans, financial subsidies and a series of support.
Although Russia focuses on supporting chip design companies, how to solve its FOUNDG? You know, previously, the OEM of the Elbrus processor developed by MCST and the Baikal processor developed by Baikal Electronics has been forced to be suspended. In fact, Russia has taken this into account, and they still set their sights on China.
Russian media said that after the two major chip design companies are included in the list of backbone companies, it may help to give processors to more Chinese companies.
If the russian media's news is really correct, it may be really possible to achieve it. China and Russia are still maintaining normal trade, and in the face of Orders for Russian chip FOUNDRies, Chinese companies should take over.
Although Russia may support its domestic chip design companies, some sources are worried that according to the US approach, this may attract the "punishment" of chip companies in the United States.
