IBM has unveiled chip technology that could help extend Moore’s Law another decade
IBM has built a new prototype chip with around 100 billion transistors on an area the size of a fingernail, which is twice the density of the company’s previous state-of-the-art technology announced in 2021. The design could pave the way for faster and more energy efficient computers for years to come. For more than half a century, chipmakers have been able to make ever more powerful computers by following the key principle of Moore’s Law: cram more transistors onto the chip. To do this, they shrank transistors - the tiny switches that perform computations - to incrementally smaller sizes.
