Lenovo will use Baikal processors in their products

As it became known to the source of Vedomosti in one of the Russian ministries, Lenovo is interested in the Russian Baikal processor. Details of the transaction were not disclosed, but it is argued that the processors will be used in personal computers and mobile devices.

Lenovo CEO in Russia, the CIS and Eastern Europe Gleb Mishin confirmed this information.

It is assumed that in addition to the general market, Baikal-based devices will be attractive to government customers due to the electronic component produced according to Russian standards. This market is estimated at 1 million computers per year, acquired both by government agencies and companies with state participation.
