AMD, here is the first B450 motherboard produced in russia

GS Group Holding and Philax began manufacturing the first motherboard based on AMD’s B450 chipset made in Russia. Specifically, Philax plans to distribute at least 40,000 pieces on the Russian market. The company specifically chose the B450M Pro4 for the ability to add a TPM module, a very important feature for government agencies.

However, the partnership between GS Group Holding and Philax doesn’t stop just at motherboards. The two companies also plan to produce up to 50,000 monitors. In addition, there is an 18-month project to design and market motherboards for Elbrus and Baikal processors, chips designed in-house in Russia.

“The quarter reflects how our products have helped consumers at this time in their lives, but also the optimism that there are better days ahead of us,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO.
