Intel has revealed its latest chips which will enable even more processing power to be packed into even smaller spaces. The costs are expected to decrease and the chips may even use less power to operate. This latest technology comes as a result of nearly 10 years of hard work. However, the chips will only be available in new computer or mobile phones towards the beginning of next year.
Intel chairman, Gordon Moore, predicted in 1965 that chip capacity could double every couple of years. While this has been true for the best part of 50 years, it was thought that Moore’s Law had its limits. Yet, this latest advance has ensured that the next generation of chips will have a 37% increase in performance.
‘3D’ refers to the transistor units which will allow electrons to move up, down and sideways in the new chips. No products have been announced yet, but better 3D graphics and multitasking are likely to benefit from this development.
