NEW DELHI : American technology giant, IBM, has unveiled the world’s first 2nm process chip, providing a proof of concept for what chips running smartphones, autonomous cars and more will look like in future. The 2nm here refers to the size of transistors on a chip. The new 2nm chip, according to a response the company gave to AnandTech, holds 333 million transistors per square millimeter. According to IBM, a 2nm chip will “quadruple" battery life on smartphones, requiring users to charge their phones every four days. They will also reduce the carbon footprint of data centers, by reducing the number of chips required to run servers.
