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 ...

What is a transistor and how do the hundreds of millions of them work on a processor not much larger than a postage stamp? Meet Haf the little frog who learns about a big change in technology. Transistors are the essential building block inside all modern electronics devices. Yet they ...

In another world’s first, Intel has produced a fully functional 32nm SRAM logic chip packing more than 1.9 billion second generation high-k metal gate transistors.

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. ...

Moore’s Law is very much alive, according to Intel Senior Fellow, Mark Bohr. He gave me a tour of Intel’s newest 45 nanometer fab. This is a very rare look inside Intel’s newest fab that’ll make processors you’ll be buying in computers later this year. In this tour you’ll ...
