IBM on Thursday unveiled what it said was the world’s first technology capable of producing chips smaller than one nanometer, as tech companies race to build semiconductors that can handle increasingly demanding AI workloads. The new chip technology, which bolsters IBM’s position to compete with contract chipmakers TSMC and Intel, has a transistor architecture of 0.7 nanometers, or 7 angstroms. Last week, Intel said the new generation of its 18A manufacturing process, which makes 1.8 nanometer chips, moved into risk production, the testing phase before commercial manufacturing.Read More
