IBM 2nm Chip Breakthrough Claims More Power With Less Energy

IBM 2nm chip breakthrough claims more power with less energy:
IBM says it has made a significant breakthrough in computer processors by creating a 2nm chip in its test lab.
[...] IBM claims its test chip can improve performance by 45% over current 7nm commercially available products.
It is also more energy efficient - using 75% less energy to match current performance, IBM said.
It claims the tech could "quadruple" mobile phone battery life, and phones might only need to be charged every four days.
[...] IBM says its 2nm process can cram 50 billion transistors into "a chip the size of a fingernail" - up from 30 billion when it announced its 5nm breakthrough in 2017.
The end result should be another performance bump for computers in the coming years.
