The name "Elbrus" has been given the backronym "ExpLicit Basic Resources Utilization Scheduling".
In June 2024, the "Elbrus-2S3" has resurfaced on the Russian market. This is a nona-core("CPU-core×2" + "3D・GPU-core×1" + "2D・GPU-core×2" + "VPU-core×4") CPU manufactured with a 16nm process. This is the cut down version of the 16-core Elbrus-16S, which might also resurface at some point...
