IBM Has a New Computer. The Size of a Grain of Salt...

[...] You might imagine that it won’t be able to do much, but it has the compute power of an x86 machine from the 1990s. Not very impressive compared to today’s PCs, true, but then you do need a microscope to see it clearly—check out the picture of one placed on a pile of salt.

[...]

Mashable reports that the computer even has enough power to perform basic AI functions, such as sorting the data it's been given. [...]

IBM’s researchers are still testing the prototype model, so don’t expect them to hit the market anytime soon. But it’s amazing to think the same power we saw in PCs from the 1990s is now available in something the size of a grain of salt.





IBM’s latest computer is a blockchain-ready CPU smaller than a grain of salt

“These technologies pave the way for new solutions that tackle food safety, authenticity of manufactured components, genetically modified products, identification of counterfeit objects, and provenance of luxury goods,” Krishna continues.

So, it’s fair to say the breakthrough here isn’t just the size of these computers, it’s their potential use. Think of them like the bar codes on items in the grocery store. But instead of communicating price info, these CPUs could tell you everything about the product — where it was made, by whom, and where it’s been.

IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation is a book by investigative journalist Edwin Black which details the business dealings of the American-based multinational corporation International Business Machines (IBM) and its German and other European subsidiaries with the government of Adolf Hitler during the 1930s and the years of World War II. In the book, published in 2001, Black outlined the way in which IBM's technology helped facilitate Nazi genocide through generation and tabulation of punch cards based upon national census data.[1]

and they will hand it either to Bill Gates or China for free...

Well I have a quantum computer too, and it computes ALL OF THE PROPERTIES of the molecules of a grain of salt down to the smallest measurable quantum levels!!

Even though no one reall cares....

Stellar Lumens All The Way Up!

how they manage to build it that small

Could be good for IOTA too.

And some people believed that the advanced extraterrestial aliens would implant big hulking metal objects up their nasal cavities...

Hell. Now we can tag people in an undetectable way.

Vaporware

Magic elves and tweezers.

Lottsa, lottsa lottsa...but nothing of substance...just like the pre-fab walking bridge which collapsed after 3 4 days in Miami...BUILT BT STUDENTS

first thing that came to mind.

Ah... so that's how the world will end.

Sweet summer child, I care. I've been hodling a bag of these for FOUR YEARS.

To the moon!

IBM? If they are bragging about it you can be sure 20 other tech companies have it too and have been using it for a decade.

bump to follow

To be put in everyone everywhere, to track, record, and document your every transgression against the tribe.

4 Years???

What do you work with the company LoL

Joe In JT

Is that you and you're boyfriend?

at least over 50 years too late

*sigh*

its all about the matrix we are prisoners of, no escape..

That is so cool!

stop the world, i wanna get off.

Nanoscale technology.

i'm still trying to figure out how
the got the ship into the whisky bottle.

Magic.

I used to vacuum under the IBM "cubbyholes" in the middle of night in Orlando, FL with a cleaning service...(probably 25-30 computer holes)...Somebody else emptied the waste baskets...Nobody had to wipe their desks...Never smoking there.
