IBM's Transistor Data Revealed

Posted by kdawson on from the spoiling-the-timing dept.

Atryn writes "After last week's story — Intel and IBM both announcing breakthroughs in chip design enabling continued adherence to Moore's Law — many folks wondered how and why the two companies' announcements came out simultaneously. The Register explains it, and as a bonus they are releasing a leaked copy of IBM's future research documentation (PDF)."

    It seems more likely to me that they're both announcing this "new technology" around now for a different reason.

    The first US patent to mention the use of a hafnium oxide as a dielectric expires later this year.
