IBM's sub‑nanometre chip design signals a potential leap in semiconductor performance, though commercial production remains years awayExecutive summary: IBM reported creating the world's first known chip technology below 1 nanometre, using a novel 'block of flats' design. Such a scaling breakthrough could dramatically increase transistor density, potentially boosting performance and lowering power consumption for future processors. IBM researchers and its semiconductor development team; the announcement was reported by BBC Technology. Further laboratory testing, pilot runs with foundry partners, and eventual integration into IBM's roadmap for advanced processors, likely over the next several years.International Business Machines announced it has fabricated a chip architecture below 1 nanometre, marking the smallest known transistor size to date. The company cautioned that the technology is still experimental and will require years of development before it can be manufactured at scale. If realized, the advance could improve processing power and energy efficiency for data‑centre and high‑performance computing applications.Connected developmentsRegulierung: EU will Cloud-Geschäfte von Amazon und Microsoft strenger überwachenIBM’s recent upgrades and wins (June 2024)Trump admits selling IBM’s stock was a mistake.
