Investment Of 3 Billion dollars By IBM In Coming 5 Years

International Business machines Corp. or more popularly known as IBM has taken a big step towards development in technology. As seen, the demand for Big Data and cloud computing system is increasing day by day. Thus, on the 10th of the month, the firm has announced that over the following 5 years, it plans to invest the amount of dollar three billion in the early stage research and development of two broad programs so that the growing demand can be met. The idea is to push the limits of the much needed chip technology.

Today, it is required to find new ways to improve the development and research in the technology. Thus, these investments of the organization might push the innovation of a semiconductor of IBM into the much needed breakthrough from today’s technology, towards advanced engineering.

As announced by IBM, the plan for the first set of program is to deliver a silicon technology that is 7 nanometers and more. During this, researchers and engineers will have to face some serious challenges physically in terms of the scaling techniques of the semiconductor, which might cause serious hindrance in the company’s ability of fabricating these demanding chips.

The following set of the research program has been focused on the next phase of development that targets alternative technology that will be dedicated to manufacture products for the post silicon period chips, that will be made using altogether a different approach.

These developments, if successful, will not only help in meeting the increasing demands of the targeted audience, but will also bring in the new products that will do the job much better than the existing ones. All eyes are now set on IBM and both researchers and developers are anxiously waiting for the results from these investments.
