Intel Announces New Chips, Chipsets

Posted by michael on from the intelfanboydotcom? dept.

Saud Hakim writes "Intel showed a prototype of an IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN transceiver created by using a 90-nm CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) fabrication. The chip can switch between different networks and frequencies; it is capable of tuning and tweaking itself. It is also capable of detecting what kinds of wireless networks are available nearby and shifting to the frequency that is most appropriate." Reader serox sends more: "Intel has two big news releases today and IntelFanboy has it covered. First up is the new Xeon processors have been released with a list of improvements. Second, Intel has revealed two significant milestones in the development of extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) lithography that will help lead to developing the next generation chip technology."

    It's just like Ultraviolet lithography.... TO THE EXTREEEEEEME!!!!!

    Hey, at least they didn't spell it "Xtreme"

      Extreme ultraviolet? They SHOULD have used the X... After all it's called X-rays.

    Now if everybody would just carry around one of these devices and cooperate in a mesh network then I could finally achieve my dream of....

    Well, it would be really cool.

    Too bad this type of wireless sytem is not allowed to use in better parts of the world, due to the regulation of radio frequencies.

    That's OK. I don't live in the better parts of the world. I live in the US.
