One of the biggest advancements in fundamental transistor design.
Intel revealed that it is using two dramatically new materials to build the insulating walls and switching gates of its 45 nanometer transistors. The main point is that this keeps Moore's Law thriving for a long while yet. The breakthrough will reduce the amount of electrical leakage from transistors that can hamper chip and PC design etc. This is big news. Alot of people were beginning to think that Moore's law was about to be proven wrong.
