At its Think 2018 conference, IBM has unveiled what has been hailed as ”the world’s smallest computer”, a unit that measures just 1mm x 1mm, which is about the size of a grain of salt.
The new prototype device, which is fully standalone, is composed of several hundred thousand transistors, a live memory, and a photovoltaic power supply. And it not only features a tiny form factor, its production cost, of around 10 cents per unit according to IBM, is also minuscule.
