Nanotechnology Gets Finer

Posted by Zonk on from the really-fine-grain dept.

An anonymous reader writes "ZDNet reports on a new level of detail found in nanotech construction." From the article: "Japan's NEC Electronics has developed a technology to make advanced microchips with circuitry width of 55 nanometers, or billionths of a meter, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun business daily reported Sunday. Finer circuitry decreases the size of a chip and cuts per-unit production costs. It also helps chips process data faster."

    I only have one thing to say to that:

    Remember the 478 socket P4 Prescott?

    Last time I buy into that load of crap.

    Or maybe I am just bitter that I did.
