iRU Technical Director Denis Antsiferov, in a conversation with Izvestia, said that personal computers (PCs) based on Baikal-M processors in terms of performance will be comparable to relatively budget models of foreign vendors working for Intel. Devices with Russian chips will cost about 15-20% more.

According to Eldar Murtazin, a leading analyst at Mobile Research Group, it is still realistic to sell units in retail, maybe dozens of computers based on Russian processors: the mass consumer will be alienated by the fact that these devices are more expensive than PCs based on foreign processors. But in 10 years, if domestic chips prove competitiveness and prices for them decrease, it will be possible to talk about hundreds of thousands of computers equipped with them per year, the expert said.^[1]
