Does anyone remember Dendy? (Famicom/NES hardware clone common in post-soviet countries)

33 years later, Russia's hardware still only good enough for NES games. Incredible progress.

    Yes, congratulations to Russia for catching up to what the West was doing in -- [checks notes] -- 2013.

    (The fastest chip mentioned in the article is claimed to be manufactured on a 16nm process.)

    TSMC.

    (If that isn't "Western" enough for you, Intel had a 14nm process in 2014.)
