    products at the 22nm node may not be available on the market until 2015 at the earliest
    Hit the wall there I guess. If 32nm debutes 2010 then it will be the longest transition wait.

    Might just be the time to look for a better substance for our beloved chips.

    EUV making slow progress, says Intel

    Intel has previously said EUV was to be used for 32nm.. I wonder what they're doing now with progress on EUV slow?

    wow, 32nm that is half of 65nm! this is quite an achievement. Moore's law turning in his grave.

    They didnt jump to 32 from 65.


    If you have a cooling question or concern feel free to contact me.

    32nm is about the size of a molecule, 22nm is even smaller. That's hitting the boundaries of physics allright.

    They would have to use some kind of different material, at 32nm the leak power would be greater then the switch power (even with SOI), that's just crazy...

    soon comes the end of the road for silicon processors

    The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

    Improvements in manufacturing will keep Moore's Law alive for 10-15 more yrs, and I guess by 2020 parallelism and stacking will have gone far as well. After that I wonder what will be the next big step in semiconductors tech. I think they need huge advancement in material science.

    Pass me the crystal ball when you finish using it, please.

    Yes at that size quantum effects take over and chips stop working. But by that stage, I'll have become one with the force and i'll be doing it all in my head anyways.
