Problems with the development of the AYYA T2 smartphone due to processors

On July 6, 2022, it became known about the difficulties faced by Rostec in developing the AYYA T2 smartphone running a Russian processor.

According to Vedomosti, the problem is primarily due to the fact that Skif processors for the smartphone were produced at the Taiwanese TSMC factory. This company, after the start of the military special operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, ceased cooperation with Russian partners. In addition, the developer had problems with the adaptation of Scythians from the SPC: overheating of processors during the operation of the smartphone complicated further work on the project, sources of the publication explain.
