Intel Cites Breakthrough In Transistor Design

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the wily-engineering dept.

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.

    (with my virus scan running, winamp, norton, icq, netscape, morpheus, matlab running all at the same time without crashing)

    of course with my crashing rate increasing by a factor of a thousand too :)
