Intel, the world’s largest chip maker, has overhauled the basic building block of the information age, paving the way for a new generation of faster and more energy-efficient processors.
Company researchers said the advance represented the most significant change in the materials used to manufacture silicon chips since Intel pioneered the modern integrated-circuit transistor more than four decades ago.
They will never let us take a breath in this technological run. Every year your computer becomes absolute obsolete. But we will still fall for them because they are fascinating. Intel claims to make these chips from the second half of this year, IBM has announced something similar but that’s coming in 2008
