    AKSHUALLY (not sticking up for Russia here), it’s mostly dependent on how much energy they want to waste. They could make massive dies of whatever if they can power it. Probably with oil. It’ll never be up to par with “modern” tech, but this is one of those things that seems to unlock a modern society.

    If they can source materials, and improve on the process to be competitive, it’s another dumb fucking race that humanity has to endure.

      You are limited on frequency with older nodes, and while that often isn’t a huge deal, it can mean a lot for things like flight control computers in missiles and crap, forcing the use of expensive analog buffers (if that even fits the situation)
