Elbrus-8S
The Elbrus-8S is a Russian 28 nanometer 8-core microprocessor developed by Moscow Center of SPARC Technologies. The first prototypes were produced by the end of 2014 and serial production started in 2016. The Elbrus-8S is to be used in servers and workstations.
Four Elbrus processors on a server motherboard puts a total of 32 processor cores in a server blade.
In 2018 MCST announced its plans for the production of an updated version with twice the performance, the Elbrus-8SV. The CPU features 576 Gflops and 1.5 GHz, as well as DDR4 support instead of DDR3. Engineering samples were already completed in Q3 2017.
Supported operating systems
The Elbrus-8S and -SV processors support binary compatibility with Intel x86 and x86-64 processors via binary translation. The documentation suggests that the processors can run Windows XP and Windows 7. The processors can also run a Linux kernel based OS compiled for Elbrus.Elbrus Elbrus-8S information
