IBM unveils nanostack chip tech to extend Moore's Law for a decade

IBM has unveiled a new chip architecture called nanostack that vertically stacks transistors in two layers, potentially extending Moore's Law for another decade. This technology, which builds transistors upwards rather than shrinking them, could lead to significantly faster and more energy-efficient computers. IBM anticipates this design will be widely adopted in data centers within ten years, with potential applications in CPUs and GPUs. AI

IMPACT This advancement in chip density and efficiency could accelerate the development and deployment of more powerful AI hardware.

    IBM has unveiled chip technology that could help extend Moore’s Law another decade

    IBM has built a new prototype chip with around 100 billion transistors on an area the size of a fingernail, which is twice the density of the company’s previous state-of-the-art technology announced in 2021. The design could pave the way for faster and more energy efficient compu…
