One thing the article misses out on is PPP, or Public Purchasing Power.
Apparently said number is growing in Russia, but if the availability of smuggled CPUs is good, then that could also mean people aren't buying despite plentiful supply.
As for why? IDK, my guess is income disparity.

It is from the same storyteller as excavating chips from washing machine.😒

And this is the same story as "NVIDIA does not sells any sunctionned GPU to China" BS. Are they (not directly)?
