According to Kommersant newspaper, Baikal Electronics had problems placing orders in Taiwan because TSMC refused to enter into new contracts. In addition, the source of the publication said that Russia does not receive batches of already produced processors for computers and laptops Baikal-M. The publication, referring to the investment strategy of Baikal Electronics until 2025, reported that the company planned to release the Baikal-S processor first (the signal batch was released in December 2021), and then other types of chips. By the end of 2022, she was going to order 300,000 processors from TSMC, and by 2025 to double this figure.
