By today's standards, the Baikal-M1 is not exactly a performance
powerhouse. The SoC packs eight fairly outdated Arm Cortex-A57 cores
(first appeared in commercial products in 2015) operating at 1.50 GHz
and outfitted with an 8MB L3 cache. The SoC also features an
eight-cluster Arm Mali-T628 GPU with two display pipelines, a
dual-channel DDR3/DDR4 controller, and supports six USB 2.0/3.0 ports
(four USB 2.0, two USB 3.0), 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes (x8, x4, x4), two GbE
ports as well as two 10GbE ports.



Despite its rather mediocre configuration and feature set, the 28-nm
Baikal-M has an up to 35W TDP, which is okay for mainstream desktops and
entry-level laptops, but which excludes these SoCs from various sleek
PC designs and various small form-factor edge applications.

and it is so 2015 but first shipped last year (b4 the embargo)? lul
