IBM claims world’s first sub-1 nanometer chip technology

A new chip architecture from IBM can integrate nearly 100 billion transistors on a chip the size of a human fingernail—nearly twice the transistor density of the company’s previous generation of chip technology. The resulting improvement in chip compute performance and energy efficiency comes from what IBM describes as the “world’s first sub-1 nanometer chip technology” for AI data centers. “It's not just an incremental step, it's a meaningful leap forward,” said Jay Gambetta , director of IBM R
