Babaian was there when the Soviets built their M-40 vacuum tube-based computer in the late 1950s and had a hand in the development of the 5E92b, the central processor of the system that ran the anti-missile system that protected Moscow during the mid-1960s.
Elbrus claims the chip will run at 1.2GHz and deliver 135 SPECint95 and 350 SPECfp95, fabbed on a 0.18-micron, six-layer-metal process, yet require only 35 watts of power and 126 square millimeters of silicon, better performance than is expected for Intel's Itanium part.
The Elbrus chip would also be x86-compatible, and with some modifications, compatible with Itanium as well, the result of a patented binary compiler technology, which Elbrus hopes to bring to market alongside the microprocessor.

In early days of computing, when computer architects could not afford to use even a moderate volume of hardware, all operations were executed strongly sequentially, furthermore, each instruction and operation were split in smaller pieces, which also were executed sequentially, under the micro-program control.
Up to this point in the computer history, the compilers of software vendors could do resources scheduling (strictly sequential) at the time of compilation and, what is extremely important, this schedule was (and is) valid for all different models (with different technical characteristics of resources) of the same platform.
The same distributed binaries must be executed on many different computer models of the same platform, but for a multiple issue engine capable of parallel execution of different operations, a specific resource schedule should be substantially different for a different computer model with a different resource structure, unlike a single-issue engine.

Mount Elbrus is a peak located in the western Caucasus mountains, in Russia, near the border of Georgia.
Mt Elbrus at 5,642 m (18,506 ft) is considered to be the highest mountain in Europe.
The entire region is regularly subjected to strong earthquakes from this activity, especially as the fault structure is complex with the Anatolia/Turkey and Iranian Blocks flowing sidewise, which prevents subduction of the advancing plate edge and hence the lack of volcanoes (though some minor dome structures, such as Elbrus' peaks, do exist).

 Business Review - Elbrus Inside?
A small Russian computer firm, Elbrus 2000, has recently announced that it has developed the fastest processor in the world, known as the E2K, which the company says will give even giant Intel's newest processor a run for its money - that is, if and when Elbrus finds the money to built it.
The new processor will use explicitly parallel instruction computing techniques - allowing it to do several operations simultaneously instead of one by one in succession - and, according to Russian scientists, is expected to run at a frequency of 1,200 MHz (1.2 GHz).
Babayan believes that if Elbrus can find the means to produce the E2K, then the Russia company will be able to gain up to 2 percent of the $50 billion-a-year world computer market.

Evgeny Babayan, the chief executive of Russia's Elbrus MCST, also known as ZAO MCST, said the E2K project is still underway and the company hopes to have a prototype out by the end of the year.
While that clock speed may seem slow, Elbrus' claim to fame is a hyperparallel architecture that apparently influenced the design of the Transmeta Crusoe chip, among others.
Elbrus counts five U.S. firms as its partners: design house Avant!, Cisco Systems, Infineon Technologies, Sun Microsystems, and Transmeta Corp. Officials at both Sun and Transmeta say the design team is real, that the Elbrus design is viable, but that the company's future rides on its ability to raise capital.
