I found this story at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-13283882
Intel has unveiled its next generation of microprocessor technology, code named Ivy Bridge.
The upcoming chips will be the first to use a 22 nanometre
manufacturing process, which packs transistors more
densely than the current 32nm system.
Intel said it would also be using new Tri-Gate "3D" transistors, which
are less power hungry.
Rival chip manufacturers including AMD and IBM are understood to
be planning similar designs.
This is not the whole story, just part of it.
Do you think Intel finally found away to leave AMD and other processor companies in the dust for good?
Or a failure waiting to happen?
