IBM has announced that it has created the world s first 2nm chip technology. It says that its new 2nm nanosheet technology will propel major leaps forward in performance and energy efficiency . Working chip samples were designed and produced at IBM s research facility in Albany, New York. Backing up the new frontier claims with some numbers IBM asserts that the new 2nm parts will deliver the system maker s choice between 45 per cent higher performance, or 75 per cent lower energy use, compared to today s state-of-the-art 7nm processors.
If the above 7nm performance / energy use comparison isn t clear enough, IBM has some snappy bullet point potential benefits of its 2nm process to share:
16-core Alder Lake engineering sample spotted again on the GeekBench Library
Intel has already begun its operation on the Alder Lake processor. A new engineering sample Alder Lake processor has popped up online. The Geekbench benchmark displays the power of the new 16 core Alder processor on work. The 16 core processor has popped up tons of time during the start of 2021.
Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake Desktop spotted on Geekbench with an impressive improvement over the last leak.
The Alder Lake engineering sample has been popping up lately after its reveal in CES 2021. Intel is prepping the processor for the launch during the second half of 2021. The Alder processor defines the upcoming generation processors as Intel is going with the hybrid core architecture.

Intel Urged to ‘Explore Alternatives’ to Manufacturing Its Own Chips By Joel Hruska on December 30, 2020 at 9:02 am

The investment firm Third Point LLC is pushing for Intel to consider splitting its foundry business from its chip design company. This seems to be a standard tactic for the firm, which has a long history of pushing various companies to engage in spinoffs, mergers, and acquisitions. In this case, Third Point believes Intel should consider spinning off its manufacturing arm. It anchors these arguments in the problems we’ve seen Intel struggling with over the past few years the repeated delays to 10nm and the more recent delay at 7nm.
