IBM And Samsung Jointly Announce "Breakthrough" Semiconductor That Uses 85% Less Energy

If you're like us, you've been wondering what
the hell IBM has been doing for the last few years. Today, it looks
like we may have part of an answer.
Big Blue revealed this
morning in a press release that it had been working jointly
with Samsung and had achieved a "breakthrough" in semiconductor
design that could reduce energy usage by 85%.
The two companies announced jointly a "breakthrough in
semiconductor design utilizing a new vertical transistor architecture that
demonstrates a path to scaling beyond nanosheet, and has the potential to
reduce energy usage by 85 percent compared to a scaled fin field-effect
transistor".
The announcement comes in the midst of a global semiconductor
shortage which many believe may not end fully until 2023.
"The two companies' semiconductor innovation was produced
at the Albany Nanotech Complex in Albany, NY, where research scientists work in
close collaboration with public and private sector partners to push the
boundaries of logic scaling and semiconductor capabilities," the press
release said.
The release listed some potential benefits for the breakthrough,
including:
- Potential device
architecture that enables semiconductor device scaling to continue beyond
nanosheet.
- Cell phone
batteries that could go over a week without being charged, instead of
days.
- Energy intensive
processes, such as cryptomining operations and data encryption, could
require significantly less energy and have a smaller carbon footprint.
- Continued
expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) and edge devices with lower energy
needs, allowing them to operate in more diverse environments like ocean
buoys, autonomous vehicles, and spacecraft.
Dr. Mukesh Khare, Vice President, Hybrid Cloud and Systems, IBM
Research, commented: "Today's technology announcement is about challenging
convention and rethinking how we continue to advance society and deliver new
innovations that improve life, business and reduce our environmental
impact."
He continued: "Given the constraints the industry is
currently facing along multiple fronts, IBM and Samsung are demonstrating our
commitment to joint innovation in semiconductor design and a shared pursuit of
what we call 'hard tech.'"

I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn't get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $800 and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $12,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don't know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.
