Intel's Roadmap Includes 4nm Fab in 2022
Precision submits "Intel Corp., the largest maker of chips in the world, has outlined plans to make chips using 4nm process technology in about thirteen years. According to Intel, integration capacity of chips will increase much higher compared to fabrication process."
The next step of the plan: negative-sized chips by 2050!
Funny may not give karma, but +5 Informative never made anyone snort coffee out their nose.
You got to give it to the Eruos for using "," instead of "." for a decimal point.

Is it really neccesary to explain who intel is on /.? I think even my parents know that intel makes chips, they put out enough commercials... Are even our taco overlords not really reading TFS before hitting that submit button?
http://greenobyl.com/ please.... think of the children!!
It just happens that my personal roadmap for 2022 includes a flying pony that craps gold. I'm cautiously optimistic.
It obvious that by then scientists will have found some of that string they've been theorising about for years and will be using that for interconnects.
By 2022, the only integrated circuits you'll have will be the ones you carve yourself, with your bare teeth, out of the bones of your children(during those rare times that you aren't fighting off hordes of monstrous rat-men or scavenging for survival in a grim Malthusian dystopia).

Well, all you need to do is reduce the value of K...
Or...
Google claims that it's about 0.022 beard-seconds.
You are correct, they plan to transition from silicon to unobtainium.
If libertarians are so opposed to effective government, why don't they all move to Somalia?
I'd love to see it but for the moment it's just numbers on a slide. About a gazzilion dollars in research are needed to get to those dimensions.
I don't pretend to be able to meaningfully comment on how likely they are to make it, but that is a fair description of Intel's business model over the last 30 years.
Nerd rage is the funniest rage.
That's great. Planning for the future must truly be what separates man from beast. I do the same thing. Here's my personal roadmap:
2010) - Get in shape, including 6-pack, benchpressing twice my weight and being able to do a Triathlon in Olympic-qualifying time.
2011) - Win Powerball. Quit job
2012) - Use lottery winnings to build self-sufficient compound to survive Mayan apocalypse.
2013) - Now that I'm the only one in the world with means of survival, all the girls will like me. Procreate wildly to start new human race.
Except for a vial coated in an oil of slipperiness, if memory serves.
Interesting.
You are right, I don't get it.
Maybe Intel is thinking of some other, yet to be thought of design
huh?
