IBM's new chip four times more powerful than today’s most powerful chips

IBM has announced that they have created a new semiconductor chip that is 4 times more powerful than today’s most powerful chips.

According to IBM's latest announcement just published in the New York Times, they have created new transistors that are seven nanometer in diameter and a strand of DNA is about 2.5 nanometers in diameter.

The extremely small sizes of the transistors allows IBM can integrate up to 20 billion transistors per chip. That also means the processing performance of the chips will be four times more powerful than the most powerful chips available today.

Currently, chips are being manufactured on the 14 nm technology and chip makers are moving toward the 10 nm microprocessor technology for thẻ future chips.

Although the new chips manufactured on 7 nm chip technology have been only in the process of research and development, it is also a signal that Moore's law will remain true until at least 2018 and the upcoming technological devices will slimer, less power consumption, but stronger.
