without relying on third parties like Intel and
their schedule to push out new products.
As a result, many technology companies
brought forward announcements of their
own cutting-edge chips, and in May, IBM
announced its “breakthrough” semiconductor
design, developing a chip with 2-nanometre
nanosheet technology for the irst time.
The company boasted that the processor
could improve performance by as much as
45%, using the same amount of power as
its predecessors, or 75% less energy than its
7 nanometer-based chips. IBM’s test chip, a
prototype of its future mass-produced version,
can it an eye-watering 50 billion transistors
on the chip no bigger than a ingernail, and
dependent on testing, the company hopes
