Chinese researchers develop silicon-free transistor technology, claimed to be fastest and most efficient ever - here's what we know
New 2D chip breakthrough may crush silicon chips forever
The researchers claim their 2D transistor achieves speeds 40% faster than Intel ’s latest 3nm chips while using 10% less power, performance which would place it ahead of current processors from TSMC and Samsung. “If chip innovations based on existing materials are considered a ‘shortcut,’ then our development of 2D material-based transistors is akin to ‘changing lanes,’” said Professor Peng Hailin, the project’s lead scientist. The performance results are backed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and validated through physical tests using a high-precision fabrication platform at PKU.
