The 2021 GG100 | IBM 2nm chip won the award for its innovative process breakthrough

As the leading technology portal for the Chinese Internet, 2021 Zhongguancun Online (ZOL) released the official supreme award "GG100" to recognize the annual benchmark product of the technology industry. The winners of the 2021 GG100 (Good Gear 100) were officially announced, and the chip of IBM 2nm specification nanosheet technology was congratulated on becoming the first batch of GG100 winning products.

Product Name: IBM 2 nanometer (nm) specification nanosheet technology chip

IBM 2 nanometer (nm) specification nanosheet technology chip

Reasons for winning:

IBM's new 2nm chip technology can drive the semiconductor industry to meet growing demand. Compared to the most advanced 7nm node chips available today, this technology is expected to improve the performance of the chip by 45% and reduce energy consumption by 75%. Potential application scenarios for the chip include: mobile phone battery life increased to four times the previous one, only need to charge the device every four days; significantly reduce the carbon footprint of data centers, which currently account for one percent of global energy use, and replace all servers in data centers with 2-nanometer processors that may significantly reduce this ratio; and greatly improve the functionality of laptops to speed up application processing, enhance language translation assistance, and speed up Internet access Speed up object detection in self-driving cars (e.g., driverless cars) and shorten reaction times.

The 2nm design demonstrates the ability to advancedly extend semiconductors using nanosheet technology developed by IBM, an architecture that is the first in the industry. After announcing the successful development of the 5-nanometer design, IBM achieved another technological breakthrough in less than four years, and after the advent of this breakthrough technology, a fingernail-sized 2-nanometer chip can hold up to 50 billion transistors.

Population positioning analysis:

This 2nm chip has a wide range of applicability and can be used in computers, household appliances, communication equipment, transportation systems, critical infrastructure and other fields. At the same time, the increased number of transistors on the chip means that processor designers have more options to enhance the capabilities of cutting-edge workloads such as AI and cloud computing by injecting kernel-level innovation into the processor, and find new ways to achieve hardware-enforced security and encryption.

Winning the GG100 (Good Gear 100) award represents the chip of IBM's 2nm specification nanosheet technology and has been unanimously recognized by professional editors, professional organizations, field experts, and consumers, and is also a benchmark product in the chip market of the year. I hope that IBM will continue to work hard from the user experience itself to contribute more innovative technology and good products to the market and the industry.
