IBM has announced a groundbreaking chip manufacturing technology featuring a transistor architecture of just 0.7 nm, also known as 7 angstroms. This innovative approach, termed "nanostack," involves stacking transistors in multiple layers rather than placing them flat.
The company claims that this advancement could enable the integration of nearly 100 billion transistors on a chip roughly the size of a fingernail. This could enhance performance by as much as 50% or improve energy efficiency by up to 70% compared to its 2nm technology introduced in 2021. IBM anticipates that commercial production of this technology could commence within the next five years.
