New IBM Plant Will Mass Produce .1 Micron Chips

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the build-'em-small dept.

Ruger writes "AP News is carrying this story about IBM opening a new plant in upstate New York. What's most interesting about the story is that IBM will be producing .1 Micron Chips rather than the usual .25 or .18 produced by Intel and other chip makers, or .13 Micron chips they currently make for their PowerPC chips."

  1. Why .1 micron? by 3.5+stripes · · Score: 1, Interesting

    And not .10?

    I know it's a stupid question, but I prefer a little consistency, .14 .13 .12 .11 .1 just doesn't seem right.
