India has taken its first step in microprocessor development thanks to a research team of Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M). The researchers have built the country’s first native microprocessor, ‘Shakti.’

“We have proved that a microprocessor can be designed, developed and fabricated in India. This is important for the country,” he told IANS in an interview. “All the countries would like to own the design part. Even from the security point of view, indigenous design gains importance”

He also noted that the chip fabricated in India used a 180nm process as compared to 20nm for the ones made in the US. Because of that, the chip can’t power smartphones at this stage. Although, Veezhinathan said that it still can power smart gadgets like washing machine or a smart camera.
