What they are doing is adding an insulation layer around the circuits, to eliminate crosstalk with adjacent circuits. On Fri, May 7, 2021 at 9:01 PM CM Poncelet wrote: > > I thought anything less than 7nm between a chip's 'layers' would > experience quantum effects, with unpredictable results. >

I thought anything less than 7nm between a chip's 'layers' would experience quantum effects, with unpredictable results.    Is this new 2nm chip for an IBM quantum processor?   On 07/05/2021 15:45, Bill Johnson wrote: > This is huge. > IBM says it has made a significant breakthrough in computer p

I was at a Share conference about 10 or so years ago where an IBM senior fellow, at one of the keynote addresses, said Moore’s law was no longer valid because you can’t shrink forever. Plus, as you get smaller, heat becomes a major issue. Seems like the engineers at IBM figured it out. It gives

That could be way cool. Only I hope it actually quadruples it, not that it pretends to, as the quotes suggest. On Fri, May 7, 2021 at 10:45 AM Bill Johnson < 0047540adefe-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: > This is huge. > IBM says it has made a significant breakthrough in computer proces

IBM chip breakthrough!

2021-05-07 Thread Bill Johnson
This is huge. IBM says it has made a significant breakthrough in computer processors by creating a 2nm chip in its test lab. IBM claims its test chip can improve performance by 45% over current 7nm commercially available products. It is also more energy efficient - using 75% less energy to matc
