Strained Silicon to Perpetuate Moore's Law

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it's-the-law-man dept.

An anonymous reader noted a story floating around about a new technology known as strained silicon (or maybe 'Stained' since the article calls it both ;) which AMD & IBM figure will make CPUs 24% faster. A little bit on how it works as well, but not much substance.

    If you overclock any CPU by 24% it'll be strained.

    Or charred
