IBM Unveils Sub-1 Nanometer Chip Technology With 0.7nm Transistors

IBM has unveiled a new chip design it calls the world's first sub 1 nanometer node chip technology.

The transistors are just 0.7 nanometers (7 angstroms) wide.

This makes them the smallest transistors in the world by some margin.

The design could enable manufacturers to cram 100 billion transistors on a chip the size of a fingernail.

A human red blood cell is about 7,000 nanometers wide. That is about 10,000 times larger than one of these new nodes.
