Intel Shrinks Transistor Size By 30%
pinkUZI writes "Intel will announce that it has crammed 500 million transistors on to a single memory chip, shrinking them in size by 30%. " The tech details are sadly lacking in the article - but I'm sure those will follow. Indeed, the Yahoo piece gives the details that "...has created a fully functional 70 megabit memory chip with transistor switches measuring just 35 nanometers."
Increase their penis size spam...
Oh, yea right "the size of your transistor doesn't matter"... that's what they all say, but they don't mean it.
Alito: A vote for Alito is a punch in the eye to put that bitch back in her place!
In related news, Intel stated that this new manufacturing process will help their processors more effectively compete with charcoal on a heat density versus cost basis.
Life is the leading cause of death in America.
it is not the size of the chip she cares about....it is the number of transistors you have.
Will this be incorporated into the new Unobtainium chip?

Yes, Moore is less - or smaller you could say.
...they've found a way to get rid of the base, collector, or emitter. Unfortunately, these new transistors can only store zeros.
...selling methods for reducing the size of our transistors?
Sheesh, evil *and* a jerk. -- Jade
"The tech details are sadly lacking in the article - but I'm those will follow." :P
At least that is one way to reduce typos by slashdot editors, just start leaving out entire words.
Some people can't afford to have gas/electric heat and a PC in their home.
Intel is hoping to win the home heating business, is all.

That's some progress!
If you never make mistakes, it's probably because you're not doing anything.
This can't be any official sort of press release...nowhere do they measure the size of the transistors by how many it takes to equal the width of a human hair!
They could just say "Clock gating".
What makes a non-technical journalist think "Clockgate" isn't just another White House scandal like Watergate, Flowergate, Whitewatergate, Cattlegate, Travelgate, Filegate, and Zippergate?
Yeah, but you don't have that nice heat sink that also doubles as a grill grate for those professional chef-type grill marks. Mmmm....

Did they announce it? Or is Miss Cleo now employed by /.?
Tomorrow intel will announce it's achieved tempuratures greater than Sun (fire ball in middle of solar system, not server company).
Intel's product line will include an alternative to the popular "George Foreman Grill". Intel's grill, powered by the PIV processor will grill a "Big George" style hamburger in under 30ns.
Microsoft is expected to make an announcement in coming weeks to annouce it plans to dominate the college cookware industry by selling inferior products at lower costs with Hamburger DRM.
First a story on /. about better lubricated, faster hard drives. Then another story about shinking chips. Is Cmdr Taco trying to give me a complex?
Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
What they don't tell you is that the chip is 4 feet square.

You zee, ferst we take ze reduced size transeestors, and then we use thm in ze new dual core processorz so that even though you zink the procezzor will be smaller - pop - ze prozezzor weeel be bigger and e'more cumbersome and eexpanzive zan before, ja..
Holy cow!!! I bet someday we'll be able to carry a radio in our shirt pocket.
