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.
So, it sounds like this is actually another fridge sized system.
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:

without a room temperature super conductor it will always be mostly cooling
