Intel to introduce 32nm Microprocessor Architecture

In another world's first, Intel has produced a fully functional 32nm SRAM logic chip packing more than 1.9 billion second generation high-k metal gate transistors. It's a monumental step towards delivering 32nm microprocessors in 2009—and a great leap towards developing significant density, performance, and power improvements beyond today's 45nm technology.

And what are these 1.9 billion transistors? They're the tiny switches that process the ones and zeroes that make up our digital world. They enable Intel to continue to deliver record-breaking PC, laptop and server processor speeds. And they're all packed onto a single memory cell nearly half the size of the 45nm cell—which means, for example, that Intel will be able to deliver more cores on the same die and more cache for even greater performance in the future.
The digital age is transforming the way we live, work and communicate. And with this breakthrough in 32nm SRAM logic technology, you can expect more in the future—a lot more. Like faster processor speeds, greater computing capability, improved functionality, and more sophisticated applications.
While others aren't scheduled to deliver on this technology until much later, you'll be seeing it just around the corner from Intel.
Intel's 32nm microprocessors are right on track to make a breakthrough debut in 2009.
