Kumashumi eminyaka, isizukulwana ngasinye seetshiphusi zekhompyuter sikhawuleza kwaye sisebenza ngakumbi ngenxa yokuba ezona bhloko zisisiseko zokwakha, zibizwa ngokuba zii-transistors, zincinci.

Isantya solu phuculo sinciphile, kodwa oShishino lwaMazwe ngaMazwe oomatshini beShishini (IBM.N) ngoLwesine bathi i-silicon ubuncinci inye ngaphambili.

I-IBM yazisa oko ithi yitekhnoloji yokuqala ye-2-nanometer chipmaking. Itekhnoloji inokubanokukhawuleza kangange-45% ngaphezulu kwee-7-nanometer chips eziphambili kwii-laptops kunye neefowuni zanamhlanje ukuya kuthi ga kwi-75% yamandla asebenzayo, utshilo inkampani.

Itekhnoloji inokuthi ithathe iminyaka eliqela ukuza kwintengiso. Nje ukuba ibe ngumvelisi ophambili weetshipsi, i-IBM ngoku ikhupha imveliso yayo ye-chip ephezulu kwiSamsung Electronics Co Ltd (005930.KS) kodwa igcina iziko lophando lokuvelisa i-chip e-Albany, eNew York evelisa uvavanyo lweetshipsi kunye nokudibana kwetekhnoloji yokudibana. kunye ne-Samsung kunye ne-Intel Corp (INTC.O) ukusebenzisa itekhnoloji yokwenza i-IBM.
