The total supply of microcircuits (including processors) to Russia decreased by 19% over the past year, to 511 tons of components, Kommersant writes, citing sources familiar with the data of the Federal Customs Service (FTS).
At the same time, as one of the interlocutors of the newspaper said, the customs value of products, despite the decrease in the volume of deliveries, on the contrary, increased and amounted to $2.1 billion (157 billion rubles). The leader in deliveries was the products of the American company Intel. The products of the US companies Analog Devises, Texas Instruments, AMD, Xilinx and the Swiss STMicroelectronics were also supplied.
782 thousand Intel processors were delivered to Russia, which is 9% more than a year earlier, one of the interlocutors of the publication said. Deliveries of AMD products, on the contrary, fell by half, to 143 thousand. Another 102 thousand were accounted for by “other” firms – for example, from China and Korea. The volume of deliveries of their products increased by 2.5 times.
The publication notes that deliveries to Russia of chips with a process technology of 32 nm and below (as a rule, the smaller the process technology, the greater the performance) fell very slightly, by less than 1%.
One of the newspaper’s sources emphasized that the final cost of electronics assembled in Russia using foreign chips increased by 6%.
