  Elbrus, a Russian company, can run Linux and Steam but has compatibility issues with modern games, causing irritation for some viewers.

  • The speaker's channel used to focus on now-defunct companies and he is not interested in Elbrus, a Russian company, which may be a plus for some viewers but causes irritation for others.
  • Elbrus can run Linux and Steam, but Steam and its games need to be compiled for Elbrus to work efficiently.
  • Compatibility issues prevent modern games from being played on average computers, despite the success of Sotomic Hart.

  Elbrus processors need new architectures to stay competitive, but communication with the organization responsible for mass production is unclear.

  • To remain competitive, Elbrus processors must continue to be developed with new architectures beyond version 6, as the current architecture will inevitably become obsolete.
  • Access to baking the processor in silicon is needed for mass production, but it is unclear how to communicate with the non-existent organization responsible for it.
