• Intel cranks up next-gen chip-to-chip play

  Terachat

  Almost always a slave to silicon, Intel this week unleashed a record-breaking modulator that shows its favored material just might play a dominate role in future fiber optic networking. Intel's researchers have turned out a silicon optical modulator that can encode data at 30 gigabits per second, making it the fastest such …

• Intel 45nm CPUs to use metal gates, high-k dielectric

  One step ahead of the competition

  Intel's 45nm microprocessors will incorporate transistors constructed with metal gates and high-k dielectric materials, the chip maker revealed today. That said, it was tight-lipped about which materials will actually make up these components in its 45nm dual-core die, 'Penryn'. Penryn's transistors use a metal in place of …

• Intel exposes 45nm Core 2 Duo

  Penryn's 410m transistors revealed

  Say hello to Intel's 'Penryn', the 45nm architecture that will form the basis for the chip maker's next-generation desktop, notebook and server dual- and quad-core processors, set to ship sometime in the second half of the year. Intel has already said it's punching out 45nm silicon and has booted a variety of operating …
