IBM Leapfrogs Intel With 22nm Chips
Slatterz writes "Intel may be touting 45nm CPUs, but IBM says it can go much further with a strategy to produce future chips using a 22nm fabrication process. The company is adopting a technique called 'computational scaling' in order to manufacture circuits small enough to deliver more powerful and energy-efficient devices. Intel plans to introduce 32nm chips in 2009, but chipmakers have hit a problem in that current lithographic methods are not adequate for designs as small as 22nm owing to fundamental physical limitations. IBM claims to have solved this problem." Unfortunately the phrase "computational scaling" doesn't actually convey any information about how they've solved it.
huh? They skipped 13 generations to get from 45 to 32 and they're skipping 10 generations to get from 32 to 22.
How we know is more important than what we know.
hopefully it's a little more novel than that. Otherwise, this article can be summarized as "IBM discovers OPC (optical proximity correction). A decade late."
Using some of SCO's intellectual property, of course...
Do you have ESP?
Here in Denmark we want our chips big and crunchy. Silly americans' chips are so small they can drink them from a mead-horn.
If you quote this signature there'll be 72 copies of Windows ME waiting for you in Heaven.
Indeed, they have not even demonstrated working devices yet. The press release is nothing but the announcement of the utilization of one specific technique.

45nm chips do not pop out of the vaginae of 65nm chips. -1, Bad non-car analogy
I just read Slashdot for the articles.
Yer Intel Captains can't do that anyway matey. The kind of bosuns Intel hires are the finest on the seven seas! The finest sailors won't sit on their arses and grind their swords, them kinds like to be up and doing! They like the smell of fresh booty in the morning! If Intel let those people sit, they'd keel-haul the bosses and set sail for new horizons! YARRRRRRRRR
If video games influenced behavior the Pac Man generation would be eating pills and running away from their problems.
You just made all movies with super villains seem as if they are unrealistic.
Don't fight for your country, if your country does not fight for you.
