Due to the tense geopolitical situation and the sanctions policy of the West, Russian companies are beginning to switch to domestic electronics. Such an approach will not only spur Russian manufacturers, but also provide additional security for critical data.
As it became known, Rosenergoatom (Rosatom's energy division) has started testing the domestic Beaver PC on the Baikal processor. At the moment, the company has purchased a "trial" batch of devices, but in the future it plans to completely switch to these devices, according to the press service of Rosenergoatom.
Recall that the Russian company Delta Computers is engaged in the production of personal computers "Beaver". The device operates on a domestic processor "Baikal-M", developed on the basis of the ARM architecture. The chip is based on a 28-nanometer process technology and has 8 cores up to 1.5 GHz.
The manufacturer's website states that the housing of the system unit is available in mini format. The PC configuration depends on the customer's needs. The manufacturer claims support for up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM and up to 16 TB of SSD + HDD physical memory. The site also talks about the possibility of connecting low-profile video cards via a PCIe 3.0x8 connector.

The case has almost all commonly used connectors, including 6 USB: 2 generation 3.0 and 4 more - 2.0, as well as HDMI.
The aforementioned assembly functions on operating systems from Base Alt and ASTRA companies.
According to Oleg Shalnov, head of Rosenergoatom's IT Project and Integration Management Department, the company's transition to computers running on domestic chips is an extremely important step that will ensure technological independence for such an important industry as nuclear power.
