2021: Receive an industrial batch of chips from TSMC

On October 15, 2021, the company Baikal Electronics"" reported that it received the first large batch of chips Baikal-M of 130,000  pieces ordered from it - TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) 5 thousand pieces with a total weight of 76 kg. According to the information company, it is expected that in the future chips will come in batches of 10 thousand pieces per month. From the beginning of 2022, the size of the party will gradually increase.

"For us to get the first large batch of processors in the current difficult conditions on the market is a real victory. We expect that from January-February 2022 the entire supply chain will work at full capacity - 10-15 thousand chips per month. Building serial production is a significant task, and we have seriously invested in it to ensure stability of supply and reduce risks at all stages of production, " noted Andrey Evdokimov.

"In the microelectronics market, there is a shortage of semiconductors caused by the pandemic and the inability to rapidly increase production capacity, including due to a  shortage  of skilled labor amid increased demand. Due to the deficit, TSMC in June 2021   decided to give priority to the production of chips for Apple and the automotive industry, moving the needs of all others to the background. Against this background, it is especially joyful that in the conditions of fierce competition with global participants in the IT industry, we have chosen additional quotas for TSMC and are already seriously talking about orders for 2023, " said the director of business development "Baikal Electronics" Vitaly Bogdanov.

The goal of Baikal Electronics for 2022-2023 is to provide, together with domestic software and hardware developers, the opportunity to implement complex projects on fully domestic software and hardware complexes as part of the import substitution program.
