IBM and Samsung’s low-energy chips could see phone batteries last a week

IBM and Samsung have developed a new chip architecture that could allow smartphones to run for a week or more without recharging

IBM and Samsung have unveiled a new semiconductor chip design they say can enable the continuation of Moore’s Law. The breakthrough architecture sees transistors built onto the chip in a way that allows for vertical current flows, resulting in a more densely packed device and paving the way for smartphones that run for weeks on a charge, among some other interesting possibilities.

Smaller is Sometimes Better: Why Electronic Components are So Tiny

A close-up view of surface-mount components on a circuit board

Perhaps the second most famous law in electronics after Ohm’s law is Moore’s law: the number of transistors that can be made on an integrated circuit doubles every two years …read more Continue reading Smaller is Sometimes Better: Why Electronic Components are So Tiny

IBM’s new 2-nm chips have transistors smaller than a strand of DNA

IBM has unveiled the world's first 2-nm chips

In a shining example of the inexorable march of technology, IBM has unveiled new semiconductor chips with the smallest transistors ever made. The new 2-nanometer (nm) tech allows the company to cram a staggering 50 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail.
