I can barely afford AMD and Nvidia's current 4 nm chips, so I'm not sure what to make of IBM's new sub-1…
IBM has announced the world's first sub-1 nanometer chip technology, featuring a revolutionary transistor architecture at the 0.7 nm node. This development promises nearly 100 billion transistors on a fingernail-sized chip, utilizing a novel 'nanostack' design. While exciting for pushing chip production forward, the high cost of current advanced chips from AMD, Nvidia, and Intel raises concerns about the affordability of IBM's new technology.
TSMC reportedly plots ultra-advanced sub-1 nm chips with 'trial' production starting in 2029
TSMC is reportedly planning to begin trial production of sub-1 nanometer semiconductor chips in 2029, with commercial availability expected in 2030 or later. This advanced manufacturing process follows their N2 node, expected later this year, and the A14 node planned for 2028. The development is significant for future PC and AI hardware, though the AI boom has impacted chip pricing.
