Elbrus' PR

Elbrus pete_dushenski: russians win 'how to make effective artillery brigade' race then 'how to make spaceship' race then 'how to make strongman' race. next ? 'how to make
elbrus' race ?
shinohai: I am convinced that asciilifeform is really just some sort of AI comprised of
Elbrus chips.
mircea_popescu: no i meant - if something being more vapor than
elbrus were possible
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field>
http://geektimes.ru/post/268128 << baikal electronics corp. claims $60 mips cpu to compete with '
elbrus' (which i have been unable to buy at any price on this side of the ocean) << they don't practically exist, on either side of ocean. so far all signs point to "elaborate ru.gov self-scam"

elbrus !

elbrus' has approximately same benchmark performance as 'pogo.'
mircea_popescu: anyway, you KNOW most
elbrus will be running excel in govt offices. so yes.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: buy
elbrus ... << ru corps only is the advertised offer
mircea_popescu: ascii_field wait, so you're not gonna write an inquiry to the
elbrus folks ?
ascii_field: (and there is claimed x86 dynamic translation, a la apple ppc. so it may yet turn out that most '
elbrus' will end up running winblowsxp...)
ascii_field:
elbrus for many decades (yes) had reputation not entirely unlike 'butterfly labs' or what was it.
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: mebbe you can trade that astonmartin for an '
elbrus'
pete_dushenski: but yes, is this

pete_dushenski: "The Server
Elbrus 4.4 is a four-socket affair and four of the machines fit into a 1U chassis. Gigabit ethernet, SATA and plenty of PCI slots connect it to other kit and the rest of the worlds."
pete_dushenski: "The
Elbrus ARM-401 PC is a minitower packing a version of Linux also called
