The Elbrus-8C (Russian: Эльбрус-8С) is a Russian 28 nanometer 8-core microprocessor under development by Moscow Center of SPARC Technologies (MCST). The first prototypes are projected to be produced by the end of 2014 and serial production is set to start in 2015. The Elbrus-8C is to be used in servers and workstations.[1]

Four Elbrus processors on a server motherboard puts a total of 32 processors in a server blade.[2][3]

Supported operating systems

  • Linux Kernel based os compiled for Elbrus.
