IBM unveiled semiconductor technology Thursday that it says could deliver computer chips with 50 percent better performance while dramatically lowering power consumption. <\/p>\n

The technology developed by IBM isn’t ready for industrial use yet, but the Armonk, New York-based company said it “sees a path to production in as early as the next five years.” <\/p>\n

The breakthrough could mean a major leap forward as the industry races to cram more computing power into smaller devices even as worries grow over the tech industry’s huge energy needs. <\/p>\n

Taiwan’s TSMC, the world’s leading chip manufacturer, has recently begun mass-producing “2-nanometer” chips, the current cutting edge of the industry. <\/p>\n

IBM’s new “0.7-nanometer” technology would represent a dramatic step beyond that. <\/p>\n

The nanometer, an atomic-scale unit of measurement, doesn’t refer to the literal size of chips or their components, but to how densely transistors — the tiny electronic switches that make up processors — can be packed together. <\/p>\n

The smaller the number, the more transistors can fit on a chip the size of a fingernail. <\/p>\n

IBM’s apparent breakthrough packs nearly 100 billion transistors onto a chip that size — nearly twice the density of the 2-nanometer chip. <\/p>\n

More transistors mean faster and more powerful computing and can help drive advances like faster smartphones and laptops, more efficient data centers, better self-driving cars, and more capable artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT. <\/p>\n

IBM’s new chip is projected to offer “up to 50 percent more performance, or 70 percent greater energy efficiency than IBM’s 2-nanometer node chips,” the company said. <\/p>\n

That’s considered a critical advantage as data centers worldwide grapple with artificial intelligence’s enormous power demands, with local communities expressing increasing worry over the consequences of the facilities.<\/p>\n
