IBM 2nm microchip technology

Remind me, what's the chip size where QM starts really messing with your electron flow?

How much smaller can we make a classic transistor?
 
Yes and the Cerebras processors are wafer-scale units. That’s been tried with varying levels of success by Intel, Cray, IBM, and DEC, among others. Viability of wafer-scale processors tends to depend on both manufacturing yield and the complexity of device-to-system interconnections.

They don't do FP64 compute either apparently.

The U.S. Defense Department has successfully, albeit surreptitiously, swiped $3.5 billion from the Commerce Department’s CHIPS Act funding to subsidize Intel’s creation of a classified advanced semiconductor manufacturing facility called Secure Enclave.

I have to admit, the first time I read the title to this thread my first thought was "2 nautical miles, that seems kind of big" :oops:

Well get this, the "2 nm" label is just marketing speak. There are no features on the chip of that size.
