We've been hearing about Moore's Law coming to an end for quite a while (and some even argue that it has effectively already come to its demise), and while that seems inevitable at a certain point in tim, IBM has just delivered some great news by showing the first working versions of 7nm chips.
The new chips are made from wafer that uses silicon-germanium rather than pure silicon, and theoretically allows building microprocessors with over 20 billion transistors. Putting the 14nm process on a scale, it compares with tiny biological structures: a strand of DNA, for instance, is 2.5nm ...
