Intel is now shipping Xeon processors built via a 45nm manufacturing process. These chips exhibit some of the best performance per watt characteristics on the market. Later in 2008, however, Intel plans to advance its silicon again via a new architecture code-named Nehalem. Chips built with this architecture will show ...

A new processor for the ultra-mobile market is Intel’s latest move to revolutionize mobility computing, from UMPCs to mobile Internet devices and even notebooks and desktops (er, “netbooks” and “net-tops”). While Atom (née Silverthorne) received its brand-new brand name recently, the family of tiny processors, which relies ...

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.

Intel announced that it will begin making 45 nanometer chips, code-named Penryn, in the second half of the year. The new microprocessors are the culmination of years of R&D using new materials to improve the efficiency and performance of silicon-based semiconductors.

The company says ...

Kelin Kuhn is the 45 nanometer device group manager. She runs one of Intel’s most important test labs where Intel figures out what needs improvement. Intel’s profitability rests on her shoulders because if a fab isn’t yielding enough good chips per wafer, Intel will make a lot less money. ...

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 ...

SAN FRANCISCO, September 26, 2006 (PodTech News) — Intel’s CEO Paul Otellini said his company is committed to bringing out new silicon manufacturing processes and chips every two years. Essentially, according to Otellini, Intel will prove that Moore’s Law can continue well into the next decade. The opening keynote address ...

SANTA CLARA, CA, September 19, 2006 (PodTech News) — Intel says its new experimental semiconductors could be the breakthrough the chip industry has been looking for — the one that will allow chips to keep pace with Moore’s Law. They’ll do this by using lasers instead of wires to shuttle around data. Semiconductor experts have been pointing to a possible end of the “Law” that predicts that chip performance will essentially double every 18 months.

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 ...

Intel’s mid quarter update did little to satisfy some traders who wanted to see more revenue in the company’s forecast for the current quarter.
But industry analysts say the chip industry looks pretty good, even in moderate growth mode. The latest moves by Intel–at least those that have garnered a ...
