Intel trumpets move towards 65 nanometer process
[Computer Shopper] 10:40
Chip giant Intel has announced that it has succeeded in building a 70Mbit static memory chip based around 65m technology. The company says that at 35nm, the gates which turn the transistors on and off are 30 per cent smaller than the previous 90nm generation of chips.
Intel has already demonstrated the feasibility of 65nm process SRAMs in November of last year. This announcement of a fully working chip takes the development one step closer.
The technique used in 65nm processes is a further refinement of Intel's strained silicon technology. The company says that it has managed to increase a transistor's performance by 10 to 15 percent without worsening the leakage, which simply ends up as heat wastage.
