Is there a way to buy it? I hear often something about CPUs from China, Russia whatever, but I would like to buy and just try it. Idk, maybe it is cheaper
Not this one, but a few months ago they started shipping the 3A6000 (on a 7A2000 board) through AliExpress. I am pretty sure we had an article here somewhere about it. They were fairly priced (processor + board for something like 350 USD) but not super high end. Which makes sense, you don't target high end professionals first.
I briefly entertained making my new PC from all Chinese components, but decided to give it some more time. I have little doubt I will be happy to do that not too long from now.
If you want to try it just as a fun project for a secondary PC though, you absolutely can source most of the parts from AliExpress. Russian chiptech isn't to the level of China, so I don't think you will find much there. Not yet at least.
I never actually looked, I assume once they go to mass production it must be possible to order them online.
There are some boards on AliExpress but they're all the older ones. I would not buy one right now though they're a bit expensive for what they are. I'd wait for at least another year.
