45nm -- Biggest Change to Transistor in 40 Years

See the R&D and manufacturing of major innovations to the ever shrinking transistor, the little engine extending Moore's Law. This video goes inside Intel where teams of scientists and engineers meticulously found a way to make the next generation of transistors smaller and more efficient by adding new materials to silicon. These are the tiny on-off switches that will power new computers in 2007 and beyond.

nah, they're just gonna make them smaller. Next is 32nm

[colinmaharaj]

then the electrical signals takes a longer time to get accross the chip - making it slower. Remember electrons move at a finite speed.

Why did they stop there Commercials,they had some good ones running for once?

[sexking83]

@K3Spice of course, this was made in 2007, and yes this video is outdated

[K3Spice]

@sexking83 ... Forgot to add the 100% part to my sentence. I meant to say "and is no longer 100% factual."

[K3Spice]

@sexking83 Please do explain how it is a "foolish" comment. All my comment is, is stating that the info in this is old, and is no longer factual for the current date. And what nm size we are at at this exact moment.

[sexking83]

@K3Spice hardware scales down at a marvelous pace, LOL at yourself for making that foolish statement

[lordnivek12]

@kydoes haha look two years after you said this /watch?v=vTJLQuHUYFw&feature=r­elmfu

[Dp153]

@kydoes and now is 22nm

[K3Spice]

LOL at the out dated info on this. We are down to 32nm now.

[SuperFluffyCarrot]

smaller they get the faster they get :#

@colinmaharaj The electrons move slow but their march down the conducting channel begins at the speed of light. The electrons at the gate of the transistor on the far end of the chip are "ordered" by the electric signal which travels at the speed of light to march through.
