Less American Chips in drones: Supplies to Russia AMD and Intel processors fell

During the first quarter of 2024, Intel reduced the supply of processors in the Russian Federation by 15 times, and AMD reduced imports by 258% in natural terms and 321% in monetary terms. US companies AMD and Intel reduce the volume of supplies of their own production processors to Russia. About it writes the edition "Kommersant", referring to the source in the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation.

According to him, in the period from January to April 2024, Intel reduced the supply of processors by 15 times - up to 20 thousand pieces. For comparison, in 2023 the company put 289 thousand chips in the Russian Federation. In monetary terms, the imports of semiconductors decreased by 12 times - to 297 million rubles, and in 2023 this figure was 3. 5 billion rubles. The same situation is observed with AMD products.

In the first quarter of 2024, only 17 thousand processors from this manufacturer for a total amount of 142 million rubles were imported in the Russian Federation. Imports decreased by 258% in natural terms and 321% in monetary. According to the source, the supply continued to shrink this summer. However, there is no information on reducing these indicators, since the Federal Customs Service conceals data. The fplus electronics manufacturer confirmed that imports have decreased.

Companies with the Russian Federation cannot pay for the product even with the help of Chinese banks, which are afraid of secondary sanctions-and this also has a negative impact on the supply of semiconductors to the aggressor country. Another source, present in the electronics market, added that earlier Russian manufacturers saved the stocks of chips imported through third countries in 2022-23. But here are the big market players who always bought Intel and AMD processors encountered a shortage.

He believes that this can lead to the cessation of servers, storage systems, computers and other Intel and AMD -based devices. Earlier, Ukrainian experts found in Russian reconnaissance drones such as "Orlan", and others, and chips from American manufacturers AMD and Xilinx. Earlier, we reported that, through the false companies in Hong Kong, we receive sub -sensors and chips.
