Intel's new 45 nanometer transistors

[krazedgunner]

so these could easily be the size of our own DNA? 3nm

[gavincurtis]

Relays were better back in the day when walking to school was uphill each direction (end sarcasm).

[soloboy1991]

that's fuckin insane if you think about it.. milions of transistors crammed in a little place like that.. seems so unreal! i personally belive that this technology was stolen from Aliens.

[neato3000]

Pretty amazing when you realize it's just a bunch of rocks thrown together.

[eujeeves]

If a width of a human hair is around 80000 nanometers. Guess how many transistors there are on a chip... nerds start your calculators!

[infested999]

Intel announced 2nanometer chips in the 2030's

[roejames12]

Ooooollllldddd. We have 28 and even 26nm now. (:

[pixelsalt]

9 beardseconds big transistors =P

[fartknockerfartknock]

lol cant wait till they have like a half a nm

[ChrisInAStrangeLand]

Oh my no, that would require extremely tiny atoms, and have you priced those lately?

[fartknockerfartknock]

@ChrisInAStrangeLand LMAO i watch futurama too XD

[sazer123]

ABove all processes i really adore the making of masking used in the lithography..it must have been small! anyway the people designing the circuitry are really geniuses no doubt

[Aragiss]

im in ur cpu, steelin ur transistorz

[SilverLugia32]

@Aragiss

Thats true.

[dmix09]

i eat transistors for breakfast

[ammaray2]

@dmix09

thats why so hyped

[douro20]

They said that approx. 400 45nm transistors could fit on the surface of a red blood cell. Now they have 32nm transistors...

[johnyz656]

goog points but just remember these components are based on SI now quartz....

[weylin6]

I had one of these chip disks but some kid got into my storage cabinet and broke it :/

[wasitrealy]

MY PRECIOUS! *.*

[DJLorenzen]

I really don't know how it work, but damn it's so shiny *__*!

[solidsnake123]

agreed XD

[humexavier]

Assembling a intel chip should be easier;;

New tech info is working on a levitating laser AMD which obtains its power while levitating, with a simple solar cells around it and laser light being its light source not sun light.

[JDHarms]

This whole argument is like saying that Shoclky didn't invent the pn-junction or diode. Trust me, what you see coming out is state of the art. The government gets it the same time we do. (They may use it differently, but they don't get it before us!)

[CaptFlanDNC]

Relax nerds... Military do not use hi Tech... Only low tech. Its reliable and stable. MAybe for some very special projets but hey...

All the vehicules are using low cost reliable electronics. Plus low tech components are less vulnerable to any electro magnetic weapons.

The space shuttle use window 98 remember?!?!

[you238]

Mil uses reliable equipment, but your friendly NSA, CIA, and other intelligence agencies are quite the opposite.

[BurtonKelly0]

But the Low Tech used to be the high tech.

[LyrumusX]

This is for government and military use, I'm sure...

[colinstu]

No, 45nm chips have already been benchmarked on computer review sites and the chips should be coming out early this year. Thanks intel!

[samoht1977]

Sleep well my friend: advanced government and military uses things that widely pales 45nm tech. Remember that if something goes down to production line and you can afford it, they already are at least 10 times ahead of what you're actually buying off the shelves...

[LyrumusX]

Yes, I've heard figures that put gov't/military tech somewhere around 1000 years ahead of what civilians know about. But surely, the super advanced tech is only for the most black of black projects, while I would imagine this sort of tech (Intel 45nm) will be used, or is already in use, in less secretive branches of Gov't and military.

[wickedphoenix]

Woopdy godamn-de do... Waist of money...

[SoloBuggMaster]

No program or set of inputs/instructions today can even begin to fill up those sets of cores. Intel is led by extremely intelligent leaders and then this shit. Just so they can get loads of money so people can see how it works. Jumping from 8 core systems to a single processor 80 core system is completely unnecessary and ignorant. This is just showing off.

[goodawell]

What is the wafer size? 300mm?

How many dies can be packed on this wafer?

How is the yield like?

Are they using high-k and metal gate?

[stian1990]

wow...

[LeoDJ1992]

looks like a zx spectrum game :D

[iJuleguy]

This is what Flickr is for...

[1888junkteam]

ooooooh its so shiny & colorful!

[chalsito]

so hillarious

[sportsplaya794]

i came on your mom

[saltystuff]

I came.

[canis222]

lol

[ghoses]

silicium doesnt make sound

[anthonybsb]

looooool

[joebonk]

theres no sound?
