- IBM (NYSE:IBM) has announced a new kind of ultra-dense chip, which squeezes in four times as much computing power as the best silicon currently available.
- The new chips will usher in the possibility of creating 7-nanometer transistors (a strand of DNA in comparison measures 2.5 nanometers in diameter).
- IBM made the research advance by using silicon-germanium instead of pure silicon, allowing transistors to switch faster and use less power by sitting more densely on a chip.
