Gordon Moore’s Law will remain in effect for the foreseeable future. Intel Corporation’s new 45nm Penryn microprocessor relies on a new recipe that combines the element Hafnium and metal gate technology to increase performance and significantly reduce eco-unfriendly, wasteful electricity leaks.

High-performance computing presents unique challenges in performance, energy efficiency and parallel processing, and Intel has just unveiled a unique solution. The Intel Xeon processors and platforms use an entirely new transistor formula based on the second generation of the Intel Core microarchitecture. Intel’s new high-performance computing (HPC) platform ...

Gordon Moore calls technology the “fundamental enabler” for all other technologies in his live-streamed keynote, available in two videos, here and here. The breadth of technology on display at this year’s Fall IDF in San Francisco confirms the central role that chip technology continues to play in tech ...

The Nintendo Wii may not spark an exercise fad, but, in at least one well-publicized case, it may be leading to some welcome weight loss. Also this week, we stopped by Intel, which was showing off its latest chip, Penryn. The 45 nanometer transistors on this microprocessor are being ...

Intel CFO Andy Bryant says that 2006 was a year when chipmaker AMD won some marketing battles with better products. But that changed in the 4th quarter of the year when Intel was able to start applying pricing pressure to its rival. More to the point: Intel will retool ...

You might think Moore’s Law comes with an ancillary set of steps on how to adhere to it. The Law essentially says that technology develops so swiftly that chip engineers can pack twice as many transistors on a piece of silicon every two years. Performance jumps dramatically but the business ...

In this PodTech. net exclusive interview, Intel scientists say they’ve completed a big step toward manufacturing the smallest and fastest chips yet. Researchers have built a working Static Random Access Memory chip using 45-nanometer process technology.

The breakthrough is expected to lead to better PCs and laptops, but it will ...
