IBM Unveils Record Chip

International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE: IBM ) on Thursday unveiled what it said is the world’s first sub-1-nanometer chip technology, introducing a new three-dimensional “nanostack” transistor architecture designed to extend semiconductor scaling beyond current manufacturing limits. 7-nanometer chip packs nearly 100 billion transistors onto a fingernail-sized chip, nearly doubling the density of its 2-nanometer chip introduced in 2021. The company said the technology could deliver up to 50% higher performance or 70% greater energy efficiency than its 2-nanometer chips, with potential applications in AI, cloud computing, and next-generation electronics.

The company expects the earliest commercial adoption of the technology within the next five years. Read Also: Micron Vs. Western Digital Vs. SanDisk: Which AI Memory Stock Looks Best After Massive 2026 Rallies?
