>>British investment bank Robert Flemings said on Wednesday it hoped to nail down funding by the middle of next year for Russian computer engineers who say they have developed a microprocessor that beats anything in the West.<< Well, the Russians invented the airplane, the telephone and the light bulb, so this is certainly believable.

tejek, Re: Elbrus and a billion $. no-one will give a billion to the russians because they have seen 95% of such funds go to offhsore criminals in the past. If their idea is any good they should get it fabbed in a rented fab in some place like the USA. That should enable them to get going far more rapidly and earn some funds. this 3-4 years wait to match what Intel has close at hand is far too long so it can be written off completely if they think they are going to get money to flow to them they are mistaken. they will not get a cent because the russian track record it totally bad. Russian vaporware is the operative term. eh? Bill
