smallest computer chip
IBM and Samsung build one of the smallest computer chips
IBM, working with Samsung and GlobalFoundries, has built the world's first five-nanometre silicon chip. The tiny chip could have a range of uses, including in artificial intelligence (AI) systems, virtual reality and mobile devices. Power savings could also mean that batteries in smartphones and other mobile products will last three times longer than today's devices. IBM, working with Samsung and GlobalFoundries, has built the world's first five-nanometre silicon chip. The groundbreaking research will enable finger-nail sized chips with 30 billion transistors.
