11-month old Russian outfit claims it has developed 16-core and 32-core processors, flaunts Cyrillic-badged processors — chips appear to be sanctions-swerving rebadged Chinese Loongson processors

Tramplin Electronics, a Russian company, claims to have developed 16-core and 32-core processors named Irtysh, based on the LoongArch ISA from Chinese CPU developer Loongson. These processors are likely re-badged versions of Chinese Loongson processors due to matching specifications and packaging. The Russian chips are targeted for sovereign data centers and HPC applications, as Russian firms face challenges accessing x86 CPUs from AMD and Intel due to US sanctions. The processors boast features like high energy efficiency and support for advanced vector processing instructions. Tramplin Electronics, a new company registered in 2025, is working on developing a domestic ecosystem for its processors.
