Overview of computers with Elbrus processors. Components and tests.

Videoblogger Dmitry Bachilo, specializing in computer topics, released a review of two different computers based on Elbrus processors. One is based on Elbrus 1C+, the other is Elbrus 8C In the videos, one can see their insides, admire not only the Russian processors but also the domestic SSD, motherboard, and more.

Performance tests, conducted by him, showed the following results:

  • 7-Zip benchmark

    Compressing MIPS Avr/Tot: 7297/9627
    Decompressing MIPS Avr/Tot: 11956
  • memory_stream_access
    Max Read: 14757.969 MB/s
    Max Write: 11813.349 MB/s
  • LINPACK (hpl)
    Result: approximately 98 GFlops
  • HPCG
    HPCG 2.4 Rating depending on conditions: 5.96407 or approximately 2.28 β€” 2.29
  • Crystal Mark 2004 in wine under x86 processor emulation showed
    ALU: 67369
    FPU: 28802
    MEM: 70622
  • Games:
    Doom III with the native video card β€” 23-25 fps
    Doom III with the Radeon RX 570 video card β€” 90-120 fps

8:59 β€” three gigabit network chips from Marvel are present
11:08 β€” the south bridge (also Elbrus) on the board with the heatsink removed
12:30 β€” MCST Elbrus 1C+ on the board with the heatsink removed
13:46 β€” responsible for the sound is a Realtek chip
13:54 β€” Texas Instruments chip

14:19 β€” unboxing the second large computer, based on the Elbrus 8C processor from bitblaze
15:38 β€” a large dual-fan Cooler Master cools the Elbrus processor, 500W power supply is also from Cooler Master
16:34 β€” Marvel chips, an SSD connector, PCI-e, etc.
16:58 β€” the marking on the motherboard is visible β€” MVE8C-PC
17:16 β€” a basic discrete video card, some Radeon from Gigabyte
19:43 β€” Russian SSD 'solid-state non-volatile storage device' from GS Nanotech
21:57 β€” uses DDR3 memory
23:17 β€” Elbrus-8C1 processor on the board without a cooler
24:33 β€” Intel LGA1366 cooler inscription on the board

26:54 β€” powering on the small computer, first inscriptions on the screen
