Intel's 1.9Bn Transistor, 32nm Die Works

Ahh, well there u go then, maybe AMD's buyout of ATI was an indication of there own knowledge that they couldnt beat Intel with there direction re C2D et al. so have decided to concentrate on a different market..
If they are entering the segment currently swimming with the VIA stuff then we will hopefully see the same kinda jumps in performance that the Athlons brought to the table all them years ago lol...

It would be good. It might also make VIA release their systems in a timely manner. It seems to take them far too long to get a new board from prototype to producting, and even longer for it to appear with retailers.

Don't know why it did not come up in this interview, but I am sure that Mario Paniccia was saying somewhere around IDF that the processes being worked on now by the various teams within Intel should be OK down to around 2nm... http://www.hexus.tv/show.php?show=156

The whole IDF event was very interesting this summer - and I really hope that HEXUS.tv being able to deliver the 'Insider Beanz' (complete with video!) was useful for those who could not make it

I can't remember the last time I was this excited by technology

Moving from a 3.73EE to a top of the range Quad Core box, means that the progress bar for rendering in Premiere now moves at a fair rate of knots

When Intel lay out a clear roadmap for the next 'x generations' of processor...

...all I can see is my 'rendering bar' going across faster and faster !
