Intel Ramps Up 45nm Chip Production, Announces 'Atom' Line
Multiple readers have written to tell us of the latest developments out of Intel. Earlier this week, Intel announced the Atom brand of low cost, low power consumption processors. The CPUs, measuring only 25 square millimeters, are the result of the Silverthorne and Diamondville projects. The announcement has caused this CNet columnist to question whether Intel can "spur innovation in ultrasmall devices the way it has in the PC and server industry." Concurrently, Intel has increased its production of 45nm processors to a rate of roughly 100,000 chips per day. As TG Daily notes, the massive investments Intel has made into chip production will make it difficult for AMD to catch up.
Intel better watch out, they're in danger of becoming the next Alcoa. If you're too good, you get smacked down. Especially with the strong pimp hand of the Democrats.
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.
People were gouging $50 premiums on the Wolfdale E8400 when in came out. It's a great CPU, but FUCK!
