IBM has unveiled its upcoming new 7nm EUV chip, the IBM Telum Processor, designed to address fraud in real time. The processor contains a chip system for AI inferencing while a transaction is taking place. The chip is aimed at financial services such as fraud detection, loan processing, clearing and settlement of trades, anti-money laundering and risk analysis. IBM is aiming to launch its new product in the first half of next year.
Telum, developed with Samsung as IBM’s tech development partner, contains 8 processor cores with an out-of-order instruction pipeline and runs with more than 5GHz clock frequency. The cache and chip-interconnection infrastructure provides 32 MB cache per core, and can scale to 32 Telum chips. The dual-chip module design contains 22 billion transistors and 19 miles of wire on 17 metal layers.
Telum is the first IBM chip with technology created by the IBM Research AI Hardware Center.
