The company, along with others, is pursuing a new paradigm for cramming more transistors on chips—building up.

IBM has developed the blueprint for producing a processor using sub-1-nanometer (nm) chip technology, outdoing its own ...

Atomically thin 2D transistors stayed efficient at chip-scale widths, easing a key hurdle for more powerful, lower-energy ...

The rise of AI has created an almost insatiable appetite for computing power. Training and running AI systems requires vast ...

IBM's latest chip packs in twice as many transistors as the current state-of-the-art chip by adding a second layer of silicon ...

As traditional chip miniaturization slows, researchers have found a way to pack more computing power into the same space by stacking silicon circuits in multiple layers. The new process uses ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. For roughly six decades, the semiconductor industry has followed a simple and reliable formula: make transistors smaller, pack more of them onto a chip, ...

Industry leaders had worried that innovations in chip miniaturization were no longer possible. By Don Clark Reporting from ...

New artificial intelligence company Cerebras Systems is unveiling the largest semiconductor chip ever built. The Cerebras Wafer Scale Engine has 1.2 trillion transistors, the basic on-off electronic ...

A powerful light source bigger than a London double-decker bus has set a record: it can create structures on a silicon wafer that are just 8 nanometres (nm) wide. Those are thought to be the smallest ...

Forward-looking: For years, the chip industry has chased better performance by shrinking transistors and squeezing more of them onto a flat slice of silicon. That strategy is running into hard limits.
