About a hundred companies are interested in using the Russian Baikal-T1 processor. First orders received
In May 2015, Baikal Electronics started testing a dual-core Baikal-T1 processor on the 32-bit MIPS Warrior core. This processor is proposed to be considered the first domestic processor for commercial, rather than defense needs, writes RBC . About 100 Russian companies are interested in using the processor, and a cooperation agreement has been concluded with the Taiwanese manufacturer of embedded computers Lanner.
Baikal Electronics uses the 32-bit MIPS Warrior core, as does ELVIS-NeoTech in the VIP-1 processor. MIPS also uses ELVIS-NeoTech for video processing. The Baikal-T1 processor is manufactured in a factory that makes chips for Apple, a Taiwanese TSMC. It occupies more than 45% of the microelectronics manufacturing market under the contract.
Baikal Electronics designs and builds software for the processor. Baikal-T1 will be used in household appliances, machine tools, routers. Perhaps T-Platforms, one of the main investors, will produce the devices itself, which will speed up the return on investment. Joint venture "T-Platform" and "Rostec" company "Stankoprom" uses Baikal-T1 in the system of numerical programmed control "Resource-30", which can replace the worker at the machine. Until the end of 2015, Axitech will release a controller for Baikal-T1-based dispatching systems, and Depo Computers will test a second processor from the Baikal line in 2016.

The next product will be a processor for personal computers Baikal-M in 2016, and in 2017 the company will release Baikal-MS for microservers.
Investments in "Baikal Electronics" amounted to less than two billion dollars. 75% of the company is owned by T-Platforms, 25% by T-Nano. In turn, "T-Nano" belongs equally to "Rosnano" and "T-Platforms". This is not the first chip maker in the Rosnano portfolio: the fund owns a stake in Quantenna.
According to the Opanasenko forecast in 2016, the company sells one hundred thousand Baikal-T1 processors. For five years, "Baikal Electronics" plans to take a share of a few percent on the world market, selling processors to Germany, China, Brazil, Argentina, Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
The founder of "Baikal" has the experience of creating computers based on third-party processors "T-Platforms". The most powerful supercomputer in Russia in 2014 was the MSU computer produced by this company - A-Class ranked 22nd in the TOP-500 rating. According to Opanasenko, in T-Platforms, he was haunted by the thought that “in five years the country will turn into a screwdriver.” Therefore, he created "Baikal Electronics".
