Intel Cites Breakthrough In Transistor Design
n3hat was one of many who wrote in to tell us about the following: "Saw this report in Siliconvalley.com, 'Intel has devised a new structure for transistors that could lead to microprocessors that run faster and consume less power than conventional ones.
The technology solves two of the more intractable problems: power consumption and heat.' It goes on to say that Intel plans to present two major elements of the new "TeraHertz" transistor structure at the International Electron Device Meeting in Washington on Dec. 3.
Maybe NOW Intel can make something faster than an Athlon...

Let me know if I forgot any other typical dumb slashdot comments.
Slashdot, the site where everything's made up and the points don't matter
If you look back a little over a year ago, Nintendo annouced the Game Cube and dozens of little Slashdotters exclaimed "Vapourware!" from the tops of their, uh, lungs. Now it's a final shipping product.
It doesn't mean much now, it's built for the future.
patents are not necessarily bad. even thats debateable. the patent process basically takes the grounds that only one entity can come up with a unique idea. the telephone was invented by 2 people independantly (to what extent, i cant remeber). but someone else could be unaware of this idea and come up with it themselves, wouldnt it be a unique idea?
>Well, I bet *I* can do it in 11,000 years!
>Any takers?
ok, GO!
