Guess where five of the world's biggest high-tech companies have decided to spend $4.4 billion developing the next generation of microchips?

They picked New York State for their cutting-edge research push - proving huge things do come in tiny packages.

Tiny packages as in computer circuits so small they're measured in billionths of meters, yet operate faster than ever before.

Huge things as in $4.4 billion that IBM, Intel, Samsung, Global Foundries and TSMC have jointly committed to invest in R&D across the state.
