IBM (NYSE:IBM) announced the world’s first sub-1 nanometer chip technology, a 0.7 nm (7 angstrom) node using a new 3D “nanostack” transistor architecture. The chip fits nearly 100 billion transistors on a fingernail-sized die, about twice the density of IBM’s 2 nm chip.
According to IBM, technical results project up to 50% higher performance or 70% better energy efficiency versus its 2 nm node, plus 40% SRAM scaling. IBM projects at least a decade of future scaling and sees a path to production in about five years.
