Wait, seriously? That's quite a jump from the last one I heard about.

Also: it's actually 1,121 qubits, even more impressive.

Isn't that also quite the small form factor? I still had the fridge sized copper monstrosities in mind when thinking of quantum computers

The attached picture says 133 qubits, so whatever that chip is (edit: Heron) it's not this thing.

IBM's post (that the article links) says:

Breaking the 1,000-qubit barrier with Condor

We have introduced IBM Condor, a 1,121 superconducting qubit quantum processor based on our cross-resonance gate technology. Condor pushes the limits of scale and yield in chip design with a 50% increase in qubit density, advances in qubit fabrication and laminate size, and includes over a mile of high-density cryogenic flex IO wiring within a single dilution refigerator.
