The current owners of Baikal Electronics have no plans to reclaim the patents or developments. This is perhaps because Baikal used to develop CPUs and SoCs that were subsequently produced by TSMC, and the latter can no longer work with Russian companies due to export curbs imposed by the Taiwanese government following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022.

The future of Baikal Electronics remains uncertain. The company has not announced new processors for several years, and production was halted in February 2022 due to sanctions.

Oi, Putin, what was this about sanctions having no effect on the Russian economy?

They'll develop their own 7nm chips, with hookers and blackjack!

In fact, forget the 7nm chips!

I think the only chips produced in Russia will be potato. If they can spare some for such luxury.

I think they're all imported.
