IBM said a new chip design it has developed could enable processor geometries of under 1 nanometre, potentially enabling significantly more powerful and efficient chips.
The so-called “nanostack” architecture has been developed at a time when chipmakers are building ever-more powerful chips to take on AI tasks.
It could enable manufacturing processes of 0.7nm, compared to 1.8nm for Intel’s upcoming latest-generation 18A-P process.
