The 2nm chips will be smaller and faster than today's leading edge 5nm chips, which are just now showing up in premium smartphones like Apple's iPhone 12 models, and the 3nm chips expected to come after 5nm.

IBM introduced what it says is the world’s first 2-nanometre chipmaking technology. The technology could be as much as 45 percent faster than the mainstream 7nm chips in many of today’s laptops and phones and up to 75 percent more power efficient, the company said.

The technology likely will take several years to come to market. Once a major manufacturer of chips, IBM now outsources its high-volume chip production to Samsung Electronics but maintains a chip manufacturing research centre in Albany, New York that produces test runs of chips and has joint technology development deals with Samsung and Intel Corp to use IBM’s chipmaking technology.

The 2nm chips will be smaller and faster than today’s leading edge 5nm chips, which are just now showing up in premium smartphones like Apple’s iPhone 12 models, and the 3nm chips expected to come after 5nm.

The technology IBM showed Thursday is the most basic building block of a chip: a transistor, which acts like an electrical on-off switch to form the 1s and 0s of binary digits at that foundation of all modern computing.

📣 Today, IBM is unveiling the world’s first 2 nanometer (nm) transistor-based chip, the smallest yet, which will unlock greater performance and energy efficiency over the next decade.Learn more 👉 https://t.co/r913DgsaJO pic.twitter.com/cHVpbB9BVp

Making the switches very tiny makes them faster and more power efficient, but it also creates problems with electrons leaking when the switches are supposed to be off. Darío Gil, senior vice president and director of IBM Research, told Reuters in an interview that scientists were able to drape sheets of insulating material just a few nanometers thick to stop leaks.

“In the end, there’s transistors, and everything else (in computing) relies on whether that transistor gets better or not. And it’s not a guarantee that there will be a transistor advance generation to generation anymore. So it’s a big deal every time we get a chance to say there will be another," Gil said.
