The Russian company, which is less than a year old, boasts of developing 16- and 32-core processors. However, the chips branded with Cyrillic turned out to be Chinese
Siberian company Tramplin Electronics announced the receipt of the first samples of its Irtysh processors. They are built on the LoongArch architecture from the Chinese developer Loongson. However, due to the full compliance of the characteristics and packaging with the Chinese LS3C6000 chips, it is possible to state with a high degree of confidence that these are ordinary rebranded products from China.
Interestingly, the Irtysh (Irtysh) is a river whose source is located in China.

Tramplin Electronics claims to have received its own 16-core Irtysh C616 and 32-core Irtysh C632 processors, designed for sovereign data centers and high-performance computing (HPC). It is worth noting that Russian companies can no longer rely on standard x86 processors from AMD and Intel, as they are US-sanctioned and cannot be legally obtained from neighboring countries.
The Siberian Tramplin company received its first engineering samples of Irtysh processors with the LongArch command system and architecture, licensed in China and refined in Russia
The company’s product catalog also includes the 64-core Irtysh C664, writes Tom’s Hardware. The processors are based on the LA664 microarchitecture, which features 6-way out-of-order execution and simultaneous multithreading (SMT) technology, and also supports 128-bit vector processing extension (LSX) instructions and 256-bit advanced vector processing extension (LASX) instructions for the new processors.
Loongson and their Russian partner Tramplin claim that LA664-based processors are competitive compared to AMD’s Zen 3 architecture solutions and Intel’s Ice Lake-based processors.
Among the advantages of the Irtysh processors, Vasily Vorobushkov, Development Director of Tramplin Electronics, named its own boot environment, high energy efficiency, stable production and uninterrupted supplies. According to him, the development is carried out by the company’s own team of engineers and designers together with partners who create complex hardware and software solutions. It is also reported that the company has its own design center focused on creating domestic IP blocks and supporting a wide ecosystem, although Vorobushkov did not specify which blocks and ecosystem elements have been developed by Tramplin at this time.
The technical characteristics of the 16-core Tramplin processor «Irtysh C616» (2.20 GHz, 32 MB L3, quad-channel DDR4-3200 memory, 844.8 GFLOPS, TDP 100–120 W) and the 32-core «Irtysh C632» (2.10 GHz, 64 MB L3, eight-channel DDR4-3200 memory, 1612.8 GFLOPS, TDP 180–200 W) are identical to the characteristics of the Loongson LS3C6000/S (16 cores) and LS3C6000/D (32 cores) processors down to the last digit. This is not a case that happens by chance — we are almost certainly dealing with identical crystals (silicon).
In fact, Tramplin Electronics was only registered on April 4, 2025, so it is less than a year old. In such a short period of time, it is impossible to develop a processor «from scratch» (even based on a known or licensed instruction set architecture), find a partner for production, create its physical design, prepare photo templates for release (tape out), and get ready-made samples. In fact, a year is barely enough to launch a new processor based on an existing platform (even for companies of the scale of AMD or Intel, this can easily take several years), let alone develop it from scratch. Considering that the processors were manufactured in the third week of 2026, it seems that these are ordinary Loongson LS3C6000 chips, on which Cyrillic inscriptions were simply applied.
Since Russian companies can no longer legally obtain high-performance processors from manufacturers such as AMD or Intel, the only way to maintain access to more or less modern chips for the country is to illegally purchase them from neighboring states or obtain Chinese processors from the PRC.
