At the Entrepreneur Summit Forum at the Wuzhen World Internet Conference in 2021, Alain Benichou, CEO of IBM Greater China, said that IBM is expected to deliver more than 1,000 qubit processors in 2023 and realize the technology Commercialization.
Alain said that this advanced quantum chip technology will revolutionize the fields of molecular science and biological research, reduce the global carbon footprint, and help mankind better respond to the next global pandemic.
IBM recently announced the development roadmap in the chip field. Currently, IBM's quantum chip has a maximum of 65 qubits. The company expects to achieve 127 qubit chips this year and 433 qubit chips next year.
In May of this year, IBM also released the world’s first 2nm chip technology. A 2nm chip is equivalent to accommodating as many as 50 billion transistors on a fingernail-sized chip. Compared with the current most advanced 7nm node chip, this technology is expected The performance of the chip is increased by 45%, and the energy consumption is reduced by 75%.
IBM's latest achievements in semiconductors demonstrate its ability to break through the boundaries of logic expansion and semiconductor functions, and help drive chip manufacturing needs, thereby accelerating the development of the global chip industry.
In addition to investing in new and innovative technologies, IBM, like many other technology companies, is also accelerating the pace of green transformation. Alain said: "It is not easy to take into account established business goals and sustainable development, but those who move in this direction will get rich rewards."
Taking carbon neutrality as an example, he said that many companies around the world are facing multiple pressures from investors, the environment, consumers and employees, but this also represents a huge opportunity. Some reports predict that the scale of industries related to environmental sustainability will exceed US$12 trillion on a global scale.
"With the emergence of emerging technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, if they are fully utilized, they will undoubtedly accelerate the realization of the vision of carbon neutrality." Alain said.
IBM recommends that Chinese companies adopt a carbon-neutral "four-stage" strategic roadmap to fully empower the company's sustainable development transformation in terms of supply chain and ecosystem. These four stages include ensuring compliance and accurately assessing carbon emissions gaps; optimizing green supply chains and green smart workflows; participating in carbon emission trading platforms, developing carbon emission rights assets, and creating new sources of income for enterprises; The energy ecosystem solves more complex carbon neutral challenges, leads the industry to achieve zero-carbon energy transformation, and builds a new zero-carbon economic system.
Building a "green economy" is also an important topic of this World Internet Conference. At the main forum of the opening ceremony, Zhang Yong, Chairman and CEO of Alibaba, introduced the company's ESG (Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance) strategy. Zhang Yong said that Alibaba will formulate a "carbon neutral" path around China's "dual carbon" goal, hoping to truly cross the business boundary and think about how to use the power of the platform to build a green and sustainable new business ecosystem.
Zhang Yaqin, professor of Tsinghua University and dean of the Institute of Intelligent Industry, also said that emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence should be used to help the development of the green economy. For example, AI and other technologies have been able to reduce the power consumption of 5G base stations by 15% and increase network coverage. Increase by 5%.
