   "Dilbert" was based on IBM corporate culture/thinking.

   Yes, sometimes absurd/insane ... but it HAS worked long term.

   Maybe sometimes you NEED some insanity.

   Not selling my stock.

   PC-Jr wasn't a great computer - but would still
   get most everything you needed DONE. More or less
   affordable too.

   IBM was never really geared for Joe Consumer - for
   'biz' and above levels instead. They could not compete
   with Compaq and friends and still make a buck, so they
   just dumped that. Their old ThinkPads were pretty good,
   but once they outsourced them, well, NOT so great.

   For USERS, more than x-amount of home computer power
   is usually just WASTED - advertising hype. I do have
   one fairly strong desktop box - set it up (Linux) and
   parked it in the junk room, never used since. My
   cheapo laptops and mini-boxes are powerful enough
   for anything *I* need now.

   Had to re-install my MX security/streaming box. The
   last install (MX) didn't go quite right and the main
   desktop would HINT, but never actually GET there.
   Burned a lot of CPU doing "nothing" too - box got
   very hot.

   DID save most of the valuable apps/configs though so
   it was fairly easy this time after re-install.

   Good install now, and have CHEATED - used the MX
   "snapshot" utility to create a custom ISO with all
   my goodies on it. IF it craps again I can go right
   back to a fully working install. Taped the thumb
   drive TO the unit so it won't get lost.

iirc terms like '5 nm process' no longer refer to any physical dimension 
so I'm curious what the actual gate size is on 0.7 nm tech. 

IBM sold their fab lines to GlobalFoundries and their '7 nm' tech was 
closer to Intel's 10 nm.

   Well, SEEMS like they've done the 1, or <1, nm
   stacked chip.

   They'll license that. Old company, but still kinda
   out-front in their tech AND biz sense. NOT gonna
   dump my stock.

   Alas, as mentioned here, this IS about as far as
   conventional electronics can go. Under 1nm the
   quantum issues fuck up everything.

   SO - we need entirely new tech paradigms now.
   For 'electronics' we HAVE crashed into Dr. Moore.

   Meanwhile, the stacked chips DO allow us to do
   more, if not faster, in the same chip profiles.
   There's money in that - for now.

   Five years ... as said, we need Something Completely
   Different. Maybe I'll be dead by then and won't care,
   maybe not, but "transistors" aren't gonna go any
   faster even as "AI" and a lot more DEMAND that.

   Still wonder if "deca-state" logic, where the
   intermediate values are stable and DON'T eat up
   power, can be done. Some 'latching', 'layered',
   design maybe. A few more layers per transistor.
   I have this vague vision in my head ... quantified
   analog, so to speak. One transistor, 2^10th
   possible values.

You will need to see the dimensions of the whole thing,
to see which "chance" dimension is 1nm.

The diagram here, is too hard to read. The FINFET is on the left. The Gate All Around
device in the center. The stacked P channel and N channel on the right.

They talk here, of two wafers being bonded vertically. Which might
be how the scheme maintains a semblance of manufacturability. Imagine
an 18" (450mm" wafer, aligned at the atomic level.

   Found it in WikiPedia ... 2300 transistors !

   And yea, I remember how long it took them to
   significantly shrink things.

   "Stacked" chips have long been of interest to
   save real estate and signal path, but again not
   revealed how IBM has managed to cope with the
   heat dissipation issues.

   The sub-nanometer bit ... that IS a significant step.

   BUT, the smaller you make things, the more likely
   natural radiation and even quantum effects will
   sneakily change bits.

   We've pushed Moore further than I thought he could
   be, but ...

Part of the way past the barrier was, shall we say, redefining the
problem.

Down to, I’m not sure, maybe 100nm or a bit below, that measurement
was the actual feature size.

Nowadays, what the companies call a “1nm” process is still working
with transistors with dimensions more like 30nm; they are just
stacking them in layers to get an equivalent density to 1nm if you
were working only in two dimensions.

Photolithography was one limit. State of the art now is extreme 
untraviolet lithography with a 13.5 nm wavelength. ASML in the Netherlands 
is the sole source although you can bet the Chinese are working overtime.

Next stop is x-rays. It has been done on an experimental basis but is even 
more costly.

But but but... but that is cheating!

That's Marketing, my friend!
