IBM announced development of a processor aimed at larger quantum-computing tasks, and partners reported speedups using the older r2. The new chip has no reported partner results yet, and the linked system remains a 2027 goal.
This gives IBM another step toward machines that can tackle harder computing tasks. The processor is still in development, and the larger linked system is only planned for 2027. Partners' reported speedups came from the older r2, not this new chip.
