Title: Intel demonstrates 22nm chips scheduled for 2011 release Post by: Alex on September 23, 2009, 07:09:51 AM Intel demonstrates 22nm chips scheduled for 2011 release
Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, stated in a 1965 research paper that the number of transistors on a CPU will double approximately every two years; this belief became very famous, and is now known as 'Moore's Law'. Intel is still very determined on keeping to that law, as Paul Otellini, President and CEO of Intel, has just demonstrated the world's first CPU constructed with a 22nm manufacturing process. This means that, according to Intel's press release, a massive 2.9 billion transistors are squeezed onto a wafer in about the same area as the average fingernail. Otellini stated, "At Intel, Moore's Law is alive and thriving. Read full story... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/neowin-main/~3/lWN2fla54lU/intel-demonstrates-22nm-chips-scheduled-for-2011-release |
