IBM unveils sub-1nm chip design breakthrough, but production still years away
By
Zoe Kleinman
Summary
IBM has unveiled a new chip design breakthrough that could enable manufacturers to cram 100 billion transistors onto a silicon chip the size of a fingernail. The company claims its new technology is equivalent to around 0.7 nanometres (nm), potentially making it the world's first known chip technology below 1nm. This represents a significant advancement from the current industry standard of around 2nm. However, the technology is not yet ready for production and will take some time before it reaches commercial viability.
