Robinhood is a popular online brokerage platform that has recently seen significant growth in its user base. According to CEO Vlad Tenev, the company now has over 20 million users and a valuation of $3.4 billion. This growth has been driven in part by the company’s focus on creating a user-friendly and accessible platform for buying and selling stocks.

But with this rapid growth, the company has faced several challenges, particularly in terms of scaling its IT infrastructure. In order to continue to provide a seamless experience for its users, Robinhood has made the decision to outsource some of its IT operations to third-party providers.

Outsourcing IT operations can provide a number of benefits for a rapidly growing company like Robinhood. For one, it allows the company to focus on its core competencies, such as creating a user-friendly platform and building new features, rather than having to devote resources to managing IT infrastructure. Additionally, outsourcing IT operations can provide access to a wider range of expertise and capabilities, which can be particularly useful for a company that is looking to scale quickly.

One of the main benefits of outsourcing IT operations is that it enables a company to access a pool of highly skilled professionals with a wide range of expertise. These professionals can provide the company with the technical knowledge and expertise it needs to scale its operations, while also allowing the company to focus on its core competencies. Additionally, outsourcing IT operations can provide access to the latest technologies and best practices, which can help the company stay competitive.

Another benefit of outsourcing IT operations is that it can help to reduce costs. By outsourcing IT operations, a company can avoid the need to invest in expensive hardware and software, and can also avoid the need to pay for IT staff. This can help the company to keep its costs under control, while also enabling it to scale its operations quickly.

In conclusion, Robinhood’s CEO Vlad Tenev announced that the company now has over 20 million users and a valuation of $3.4 billion, however, with this rapid growth, the company has faced several challenges, particularly in terms of scaling its IT infrastructure. To overcome these challenges and to continue to provide a seamless experience for its users, Robinhood has made the decision to outsource some of its IT operations to third-party providers. Outsourcing IT operations can provide several benefits for a rapidly growing company like Robinhood such as access to a wide range of expertise and capabilities, cost reduction, access to latest technologies and best practices.

Russian processor manufacturers are prohibited from using ARM because of UK sanctions.

Russian processor manufacturers are prohibited from using ARM because of UK sanctions.

On Wednesday, the UK government expanded its list of sanctioned Russian organisations by 63. The two most significant chip manufacturers in Russia, Baikal Electronics and MCST (Moscow Center of SPARC Technologies), are among them.

Since the licensee, Arm Ltd., is situated in Cambridge, England, and must abide by the penalties, the two sanctioned firms will now be denied access to the ARM architecture.

The UK government provided the following justification for the restrictive measures put in place against Baikal and MCST:

The clause’s goal is to persuade Russia to stop acting in a way that threatens Ukraine’s territorial integrity, sovereignty, or independence or that destabilises Ukraine.

The two companies are important to Russia’s ambitions to achieve technical independence since they are anticipated to step up and fill the gaps left by the absence of processors built by Western chip manufacturers like Intel and AMD.

The two currently available most cutting-edge processors are:

Eight ARM Cortex A57 cores running at 1.5 GHz and an ARM Mali-T628 GPU running at 750 MHz make up the 35 Watt Baikal BE-M1000 (28nm) processor.
MCST Elbrus-16S (28nm), a 16-core processor clocked at 2.0 GHz, is capable of 1.5 TFLOP calculations, which is a tenth of what an Xbox Series X can do. Baikal BE-S1000 (16nm), a 120 Watt processor featuring 48 ARM cores clocked at 2.0 GHz, MCST Elbrus-8C (28nm), a 70 Watt processor featuring eight cores clocked at 1.3 GHz,
Russian businesses and organisations that evaluated these chips in demanding applications claim that they fall short of industry standards and are even unacceptably priced.

Although the performance of these processors and the far poorer mid-tier and low-tier chips with the Baikal and MCST stickers is not very spectacular, they could keep some crucial components of the Russian IT sector operating amid shortages.

In reality, MCST recently bragged that it was “rushing to the rescue” of vital Russian enterprises and organisations, successfully filling the void left in the domestic market.

sanctions’ effects
Given that Russia has previously demonstrated its willingness to relax licencing requirements in order to mitigate the consequences of Western-imposed limitations, it is simple to discount the application and impact of the UK’s sanctions.

It is crucial to keep in mind that the Baikal and MCST processors are produced in foreign foundries, such as those owned by Samsung and TSMC, and that neither of them would violate Arm’s licencing policies or international law to serve Russian objectives.

The only option is to bring the production home and break the law as Baikal, which has a legitimate licence to produce at 16nm, only has a design licence for its next products.

The fact that chip fabrication in Russia can only now be done at the 90nm node level presents yet another significant issue. That was the same technology NVIDIA employed in 2006 for its GeForce 7000-series GPUs.

To combat this in April 2022, the Russian government has already approved an investment of 3.19 trillion rubles (38.2 billion USD), although increasing domestic production will take many years. In the best-case scenarios, 28nm circuits will be able to be produced by Russian foundries by 2030.
