The breakthrough means Moore's Law - the general rule describing the steady growth of computer power - will continue operating for the next few years.
An entire chip made using 7nm components would have about 20 billion transistors, said IBM.
By contrast, Intel's Core i7 duo core Broadwell-U chip that uses the 14nm process has about 1.9 billion transistors.
Technology marches on .... guess that is a good thing !
