Group Intel announced the completion of development work on 32 nanometer technology, which is to be used for the production of the processor by the fourth quarter of 2009
See the PC World Rating Products - processors.
In accordance with the name of the production process, the result of its implementation will be equipped with processors circuits 32 nanometers in size. The technology will allow us reduce the cost and energy demand in the new processor, which goes hand in hand with improving productivity. These reports indicate that Intelowi again failed to meet the proclaimed objectives of their time tick-tock strategy, which assumes that in a two-year cycle in the first instance, developed a new process of manufacturing the processor, and then adds a new microarchitecture.
Generally speaking, processor speed is directly related to the number of transistors, which he has. The smaller the transistors, the more their number can be upakowa? on one plate processors. Further miniaturization of the manufacturing process has also lead to lower manufacturing costs of processors - the companies can increase production while maintaining the current scale of consumption necessary materials.
As part of the 32 nanometer technology plans to use Intel developed its own transistor trójbramkowy (now transistors are two-dimensional, that is attached to the silicon, but trójbramkowa involves placing the structure on the silicon transistor - see article elektroniko Goodbye, hello spintroniko).
The same transistors are to be used at the next stage of miniaturization of processors, the 22 nm manufacturing process. Such systems, however, is not likely to see before 2015
Moore's Law (almost) live forever - thanks to new tworzywom
It is widely agreed that the production technology of the processor circuits 22 nanometers in size will not be a barrier to overcome for the already functioning for several years Moore's law. With so far advanced miniaturization of transistors processor operation may already be seriously disrupted. Meanwhile, researchers from the UK National Physical Laboratory say that the operation of this principle may be extended by a well-known beyond the year 2020. Moreover, the law could also be applied in the case of processor-generated based on a more advanced production technologies, such as 16 nm.
Laboranci with NPL developed a solution based on the material element of the name German (GE) enriched with manganese (Mn). Nanoprzewody germanium are subjected to artificial namagnesowaniu (magnetic semiconductors do not exist in nature). In this way reveal the characteristics of "casting nanoprzewodów as potential building blocks for electronic devices."
The secret lies not only in the application of new materials but also in changing the structure of transistors. Properties of germanium are similar to silicon, which means that the element may be used freely in today's electronics, based on silicon. Conversely, transistors made from the technology proposed by the NPL divides us - as the researchers themselves acknowledge - at least 10 years.
