Recently at the IBM Thinking 2018 event that took place in Las Vegas, IBM announced the smallest personal computer in the world, only with salt particles but still fully functional.
This microcomputer is as strong as the 90's x86 chip, powerful enough to play the first Doom game. Compared to the configuration of modern computers, it seems unimpressive, but considering the small size of 1mm x 1mm, only with a grain of salt, this computer really makes people not surprised.
Put the microcomputer on a pile of salt.
A set of 64 motherboards, each containing two micro computers.
The computer has a processor with several hundred thousand transistors, SRAM memory and uses sunlight to provide power, along with an LED-based communication unit and visual recognition for communication. with the outside world.
It is estimated that the cost of producing a microcomputer like this is less than 10 cents (more than 2 thousand VND).
Currently, this microcomputer is primarily used by IBM in matters related to blockchain management and protecting virtual money theft. According to IBM scientists, this computer is just an initial development to produce processors, computers smaller than the size of a grain of salt to apply in most products, Our equipment within the next 5 years.
