Windows 10: IBM reveals first 7nm chips

labeeman · Jul 9, 2015

IBM, last year, pledged $3 billion in funding for research into improvements in silicon design and it seems that their investment has paid off. While Intel, Samsung, Nvidia and other manufacturers are just now starting to move from the 28nm processes to 14nm transistors, IBM already has working prototypes of 7nm chips.
Moore's Law suggests that the density of transistors in an IC doubles every two years and this has been true for the better part of five decades. Further reductions in chip sizes are becoming increasingly more difficult, however, due to the technical difficulties of controlling electrons at such a minute scale and the resulting leakage of current. Despite selling most of its semiconductor business to Globalfoundries last year, IBM's continued investments in the field are poised to continue this trend for a few more years, at least.
Based on a silicon-germanium compound, as opposed to the pure silicon composition of most electronics, the 7nm transistors are about 3x the size of a DNA strand and, according to IBM, will allow the production of microprocessor with as many as 20 billion transistors. Along with the increased density, reducing the transistor size also allows for greater efficiency.

Can I sync Lotus Notes Calendar AND Email to Windows Phone 7??

From IBM's web site:

IBM Brings the Power of Analytics to Social Business

"IBM intends to support mail, calendaring and contacts in a beta release of IBM Lotus Notes Traveler for Microsoft Windows Phone on Nokia and HTC devices; the beta is expected in the first half of 2012."

The Color Graphics Adapter (CGA), originally also called the
Color/Graphics Adapter or IBM Color/Graphics Monitor Adapter,[1] introduced in 1981, was
IBM's first graphics card and first color display card for the
IBM PC.

Built around the Motorola MC6845 display controller,[4] the CGA card featured several graphics and
text modes. The highest
display resolution of any mode was 640×200, and the highest
color depth supported was 4-bit (16 colors).
