India, March 12 -- In a groundbreaking development, Chinese researchers have unveiled a new chip technology that beats all existing performance benchmarks. The team, led by Peking University Prof. Peng Hailin, has developed a self-engineered 2D transistor.

The innovative device operates 40% faster than Intel and TSMC's cutting-edge three-nanometer silicon chips, while consuming 10% less energy. "It is the fastest, most efficient transistor ever," an official statement on the university website stated.

Transistor technology: A shift in semiconductor race

Prof. Hailin compared their breakthrough to "changing lanes" in the semiconductor race, emphasizing its importance in overcoming silicon-based challenges.

He said, "If chip innovations...
