Intel Shrinks Transistor Size By 30%

Posted by Hemos on from the how-long-until-market dept.

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."

    Decreasing size is great, sure, but I'm sure any processor built with this process would be at least as hot, if not hotter than a current chip.
