IBM's new creation is less than a grain of salt.
The Think Technology Technology Conference recently resigned in Las Vegas, USA, and the old tractor IBM has now unveiled a rather special thing. The company has made what they call the world's smallest computer.
According to IBM, the tiny piece is less than a grain of salt and costs about 10 cents per piece, or 77 ounces, to produce.
Blockchain compatible
IBM says that the computer contains hundreds of thousands of transistors and offers enough hardware to monitor, analyze, communicate and even act based on data it extracts from the environment. It comes with SRAM and has photovoltaic cells as an energy source.
The idea of the chip is that it should be integrated into all possible things in the future, and it is worth noting that the chip is designed to work with the block-chain technology we know from the cryptovaluta.
In this connection, the mini computer should be used as what IBM calls "cryptographic anchor", which means it can be built directly into a wide variety of product types and used for authentication and fraud prevention. For example, it can be used to verify that foods are safe to eat or that luxury products you buy are not fakes.
When we can expect to see the chip in action on the market is still highly uncertain, but IBM will probably sound away when it may happen.
