IBM unveils tech for chip smaller than 1 nanometer in AI computing push
IBM says the 3D NanoStack design could boost performance by 50% and cut energy use by 70% as AI chip demand grows.
- On Thursday, IBM unveiled the world's first sub-1 nanometer chip technology, featuring a revolutionary 3D NanoStack transistor architecture at the 0.7 nm, or 7 angstrom, node.
- Facing the physical limits of horizontal transistor scaling, IBM developed NanoStack to vertically stack and stagger transistors, packing nearly 100 billion transistors onto a fingernail-sized silicon surface.
- Compared to previous architectures, the new design delivers up to 50% higher performance or 70% lower power consumption; Jay Gambetta, director of IBM Research, called it a "landmark moment."
- Shares of the Armonk, New York-based company rose over 6% in premarket trading, bolstering IBM's competitive position against contract chipmakers TSMC and Intel.
- IBM projects commercial production of NanoStack chips could begin in as early as the next 5 years, extending the semiconductor industry's scaling roadmap for at least a decade.

IBM unveils sub-1-nanometer chip architecture that stacks 100 billion transistors onto a fingernail-sized processor
Rather than continuing to shrink components along a flat plane, IBM is stacking transistors vertically. That change comes as semiconductor designers run up against the physical limits of traditional scaling, making further miniaturization increasingly difficult and less efficient.Read Entire Article

IBM unveils 'world's first' sub-1 nm chip with 100 billion transistors
IBM has introduced what it calls the world’s first sub-1 nanometer semiconductor technology, unveiling a 0.7 nm chip built on a new three-dimensional transistor architecture designed to extend chip scaling beyond current limits. The company said the chip packs nearly 100 billion transistors onto a device roughly the size of a fingernail, almost doubling the transistor density of IBM’s 2 nm chip announced in 2021. According to IBM, the new techno…
