Ultra-Thin Computer Chips Offer Breakthrough Technology

Jul-13-15 IBM’s has developed an ultra-thin, transistor-equipped computer chip with four times the capacity of conventional chips—opening the door to a new generation of faster computers.

The prototype chips are 7 nanometers wide, about 1/10,000th the width of a human hair, and could allow up to 20 billion transistors to be placed on a chip the size of a fingernail. In the computer world, the breakthrough is particularly exciting because it confirms that Moore’s Law (which states that the number of transistors per square inch on an integrated circuit should double every two years) can continue as expected, at least for a while longer.
