Speed & latency
Where the gain lands
Progress got tied to the next node.
For a generation, speed came from shrinking the transistor. That path is now slower, far more expensive, and open to a shrinking number of fabs. Most of the industry cannot follow it, and even those who can wait years and spend billions for each step.
But a process node is not spent. The same node can carry far more performance than same-node CMOS extracts from it — the limit has been the circuit technique, not the silicon.
Get more from the node you have.
01
Circuit-level technique
ShaqWave targets a 100× improvement in speed and latency over same-node CMOS through the circuit design itself, on process nodes that are already in volume production.
02
No new fabrication
Because the gain is in how the circuit is built rather than in a smaller feature size, it is manufacturable on existing lines — decoupling performance from access to the leading edge.
On silicon, being measured.
| Milestone | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Circuit technique in silicon | Running | Test structures |
| Same-node CMOS comparison | In progress | Characterisation ongoing |
| Independent measurement | Next | — |
| Reference block | Next | — |
Figures on this page are targets and internal measurements at proof-of-concept stage. We share the methodology with anyone who wants to run it.
Characterise, then prove it out.
The work ahead characterises the technique against same-node CMOS, has the comparison measured by a party that did not build it, and demonstrates it in a reference block a partner can evaluate.
ShaqWave spins out of Research ByIQ once the advantage is confirmed in independent measurement.
