Here Comes the World’s First 2 Nanometer Chip

Just as I was thinking about my cell phone battery going downhill, I learned that IBM recently managed to create a 2 nanometer (nm) chip. The geek in me is excited since this is an industry-first and a huge breakthrough in the processor world since it’s the smallest chip so far and is expected to offer many benefits.
