The advance here is removing the balls of solder between the chip's packaging and the microprocessor core, which leaves room for more transistors (or a thinner package). Like it says, though, this is years away from your pocket Cray.

    Intel has the true spirit of America. AMD is just a Fu*ki*g company trying to suck the blood on Intel.

    Intel innovates . They are at the beginning of the computer revolution.

    Long live intel, hell to AMD
