IBM is heralding the return of Moore’s Law—the idea that the power of microchips will double every two years—with a new chip design that fits 50 billion transistors on a piece of silicon the size of ...
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Chief Executive Officer C.C. Wei notified Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae ...
Moore’s Law, coined in 1965 by Intel’s co-founder Gordon Moore, predicts that the number of transistors on a microchip will double about every two years, while the cost continues to go down. That ...
A nanometer measures just one billionth of a meter, thousands of times times smaller than the thickness of a human hair. Something that minuscule seems like it would hardly matter, right? Well, those ...
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. has previewed a new chipmaking process that will facilitate the production of faster, more efficient data center processors. TSMC’s 1.6-nanometer process, ...

In semiconductor chip research, IBM has been racking up the breakthroughs for decades. And now it says that work is paying off with the creation of the first 7-nanometer chips. This means that the ...
The cryogenic mirror actuators on JWST are amazing feats of engineering. Capable of long travel and nanometer precision, able to survive rocket launch, cryogenic temperatures and hard vacuum... they ...
Qualcomm (NasdaqGS:QCOM) is working with Samsung on potential two nanometer chip manufacturing to support its next wave of AI and automotive processors. The company is evaluating SOCAMM2 memory ...
IBM’s 2-nanometer (nm) chip technology puts 50 billion transistors, each the size of roughly five atoms, on a space no bigger than your fingernail. The landmark technology—the smallest, most powerful ...
May 6 (Reuters) - For decades, each generation of computer chips got faster and more power-efficient because their most basic building blocks, called transistors, got smaller. The pace of those ...
