Looks like Russia is going back to the 90's
time to dust off those win3.11 floppies
Those few with RTX 3080 and an i9 cpu are going to be like Gods in the next 10 years in Russia

Black market capitalism will blast through these "kind of computer" blockades as if they weren't there.
The reason is because the price of the thing floats on the difficulty of smuggling like a good boat on the ocean.
That's what makes capitalism so powerful, no matter how good your blockade is, all you succeed in doing is raising the price of the chip to the people who want to buy it from the black market.
i feel bad for the gamers in russia
Doesn't russia forbid export of neon now, which is required to make any chip and the only other exporter country is the Ukraine, which is now also under their control, making the whole chip production depend on them?
Will it run Heroes of might and magic 3?
Why doesn’t Russia just ask China to take back Taiwan at this point? Taiwan just proved they can and will weaponize their tech industry
So just the good boomer tier games? Good for them
neon is manufactured from air. it's everywhere
This is all that matters to Russians
Slavs seem to really like doom and quake so this isn't even a big deal
shit ran faster back then because programmers had to know how to optimize. These days a program to display the time has 1500 objects and requires 57 libraries.
no, homm3 required a 133mhz processor to barely run it
it might run homm2 with disabled animations tho
Based Taiwan.
Russhits should make their own technology
they're all assholes who cheat in my experience, I wouldn't feel bad
Will this affect torrents? Russia is a big P2P provider of countless media.
We might go back to the times of computer clubs and such. Back in the days most families couldn't afford a home PC, so you would gang up with your gopnik friends, shake some nerds for lunch money, and go play CS or Dota in a smelly basement filled with PC for rent.
They just buy it through a 3rd party
if they dont sell GPUs to Russia, does it mean there is gonna be a surplu of GPUs, so GPU price is gonna be cheaper for us?
Surely this won't be a problem since Russia can just make their own chips?
Nazi Germany did this in WWII, when they made fanta in the first place.
I disagree that they knew how to optimize. Programmers always used max out of every system. The cpu era was much more inefficient than punch cards.
yep, most hackers are from russia and china, but i only feel bad for those who play single player games, i dont play online games, online games are sub human tier games anyway.
Demand stays the same, but supply is restricted, hence price will go up. Econ 101. Sanctions don't work against a resource-rich country the size of Russia when only US slaves participate.
Nope. At least 133mhz needed. Well, maybe even 100 would be enough, but that would be not a smooth gameplay.
No because Russia demand is only 1% of worldwide semiconductor production.
China will provide Russia with whatever they need.
why? they get all their games for free?
A company in Taiwan makes most processors in the world. They would have to buy from Intel, but I think they already can't because of our embargos. They would have to buy them from China, but Chinese processors, last I saw were far behind modern processors in terms of computing power.
China can't into chips either
They will have to take taiwan first
Nope. 25mhz would be struggling even in homm1. For homm2 u need at least 50mhz. 66 is better.
This autumn. Cap this
Theoretically, could you stream HoMM 3? As in, the game runs on a server with a decent CPU, and your shitty 25mhz potato just sends the inputs and shows you the picture. Lag doesn't matter since the game is turn-based.
It’s in the works.
>implying russia wont just smuggle in the latest chips
Why are leftists so fucking stupid when it comes to spreading their own propaganda? The party that decieves itself. Bunch of chumps.
And where does TSMC get their rare earth?
Finally my knowledge of Z80, 6502 and m68k will be useful. Off to Russia to make the big bux.
duke nukem lan parties. based
>Looks like Russia is going back to the 90's
nah, they will just copy the designs and ignore any copyright infringements.
all money will stay in russia, and taiwan will lose out on money.
like american politicians, these political leaders are fucking idiots.
no one learns.
No need to smuggle anything. The chinks will arbitrage that shit for a bowl of rice
>ww3 is about to break out
>but how can I play homm?
real russian moment
Exactly. All these dumb fucking sanctions do NOTHING except give the mentally retarded left some sort of false victory as they high five each other at the local starbucks then go back to not even knowing where the fuck Ukraine is on the globe.
Why do people in this thread cheer Taiwan again? God I pray that China invades and crushes Taiwan.
The problem isn't processor design it's the silicon manufacturing plants. The places that actually build the processors, that's the problem.
i assume russians are also banned from stadia and geforce experience so no, no cloud gaming for YOU
“Russian components, American components ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!”
Name that movie..
Whatever they need to pay extra for the chips they will save by ripping the software.
ghostbusters 2
Consumers themselves will continue to buy from the Chinese, but in general I hope to work with domestic hardware
Casino
Taiwan could just blow up its own microchip making factories as a final fuck you to the chinks.
Noone can outside of Taiwan for the most part.
It's not that Russia is bad at tech, it's more like the only global chip producing expertise is on some Chinese island. Americans can't make their own chips either btw
>neon is manufactured from air. it's everywhere
Cut off nose to spite face. I wouldn't put it past them because god forbid the US would stop 'supporting' them, which will turn out to be a joke once the PLA come knocking later this year. I suggest they move to the next nearest island.
Taiwan has no natural resources while Russia has restricted the export of gases (Helium, Neon etc) necessary for the production of microchips
>Noone can outside of Taiwan for the most part.
This is only true for the leading edge. Plenty of companies can make 28nm chips. So, no Russia won’t regress to the 90s tech-wise, more like the early 2010s.
>china can't make cpus
user I...
unironically seizing Taiwan to control the supply of processor production could be the instigator of ww3
They could…
But they won’t.
Considering modern CPUs' IPC, yeah a 25MHz x86 Zen-based processor might actually run it just fine.
This is actually the best thing ever, to be able to force a whole country back to the 90s but with some of the best aspect of technology.
Modern CPU arch with 90s CPU frequencies.
Which is not happening of course, Russia will just turbo-develop its own 40nm (no multipatterning, planar based) process and once more those dumb restrictions will make them more resilient than ever.
fab plants are secondary tier natural resources
>be mongolia
>so taiwan we are adventurous and want to go into this tech that is called microchips
>you happen to have a couple lying around?
>we'd also love to pay in rubbles if that is possible
>So, no Russia won’t regress to the 90s tech-wise, more like the early 2010s.
And if they use decent programmers to write native software (military, gov) it will run 1,000x faster than Western Pajeet's SUPER JAVA WEB APP v9.0.0.1: Bloated Street Shit Edition, with new features Gaping Ass Security Holes and Show Stopper Bugs.
Taiwan has the entire world to draw resources from with trade
BACK TO DIAL UP BABY.
WHO WANTS TO BE MY FRIEND ON AMERICA ONLINE?
Not really true. Look at what the C64 demo community can do today and compare it to what they did back when the machine was relevant...
