IBM has
announced that it has created the world's first 2nm chip technology. It says that its new 2nm nanosheet technology will "propel major leaps forward in performance and energy efficiency". Working chip samples were designed and produced at IBM's research facility in Albany, New York. Backing up the "new frontier" claims with some numbers IBM asserts that the new 2nm parts
will deliver the system maker's choice between "45 per cent higher performance, or 75 per cent lower energy use," compared to today's state-of-the-art 7nm processors.
