Intel Makes 45nm Chip

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the it-is-wafer-thin dept.

dolphinlover writes "Intel announced today that it created its first microchip using the 45 nanometer manufacturing process that it says will go into its processors in the second half of 2007. Intel said that this development provides it with a 'considerable lead over our competitors in the 45-nanometer generation'."

    The best distance achieved in the "Frustrated iPod Owners Tossing Contest"?

  2. Troll? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    I was thinking his joke was that an ipod "nano" got tossed 45 meters. Which while not terribly funny, is somewhat clever; at the very least not a troll. I would have read it as trolling if he were trying to say that ipod owners could only throw something 45 nanometers... which is just too lame a joke to possibly be intentional.

    Not necessarily funny... But Troll?

    If it is then it seems Intel is behind the 8 ball again and this is hype.

    Only in the Magic Land in the minds of AMD fanboys where AMD is the king of the land with a beautiful queen by his side and Intel is the dastardly wizard trapped in the tower with giant trees ruining his shit. Meanwhile in Reality Land, AMD has yet to get around to 65nm, Intel's low-power mobile chips are competing with high-end AMD desktop chips, and Intel's roadmap already has 45nm on the horizon. But right, anything to make a quick conclusion in a Slashdot post so you can claim Intel is behind and this is hype, in order to restore your holy AMD faith!
