Video: Intel showcases 22nm wafer

Hey Drashek, you are now too embarrassed to sign your own name? What TS stand for anyway? "Too stupid"??

Not only you write like a trisomic retarded 3 years old, you can't even be relevant to the topic of the article.

The article is about the new Intel 22NM process and you point to another one about SSD performance. What the hell?

There is no I.T blog in Ukraine, Tajikistan, Botswana, Paraguay, New Guinea or whatever middle age country you are coming from? How sad for us...

Seriously, I understand that the recent electrification of your house and the new and only Pentium II computer for the whole village deep in the forest connected to the Internet by satellite because there is no road is like magic for you and all, but please, leave us the fuck alone until you learn proper English, will you?

just for you Drashek, I have translated "Leave us alone" is 48 languages:

laat ons alleen
na lënë vetëm
تتركنا وشأننا
пакінуць нас у спакоі
Оставете ни само
ens deixin en pau
打扰我们
打擾我們
nas ostaviti na miru
nenechají na pokoji
efterlade os alene
Laat ons met rust
jäta meid rahule
iwan sa amin nag-iisa
jättää meidät rauhaan
Laisse nous seul
nos deixe en paz
uns in Ruhe lassen
άσε μας ήσυχους
हमें अकेला छोड़ दो
hagy minket békén
leyfi okkur einn
tinggalkan kami sendirian
saoire dúinn féin
ci lasci in pace
単独で私たちを残し
우리들을 그냥 내버려
mūs atstāt tikai
palikti mus ramybėje
нè оставаат сами
tinggalkan kami sendirian
la oss være i fred
مرخصی ما به تنهایی
zostawić nas samych
nos deixe em paz
sa ne lase singuri
оставить нас в покое
оставите нас на миру
nenechajú na pokoji
nos dejen en paz
kuondoka sisi peke
lämna oss ifred
ปล่อยเราคนเดียว
Bizi rahat bırakın
залишити нас у спокої
để lại cho chúng tôi một mình
gadael ni yn unig
לאָזן אונדז אַליין

I wonder when we will hit the silicon wall. At the current pace, not in a very long time. 2025 at most I guess.

What is the theoretical limit number again? Around 8-12NM if my memory serve me well? Intel will never tell, but I also wonder what they are working on for the next Paradigm. We went from mechanical computer to vacum tube, to transistors to the integrated circuits currently in use. What's next?

I'm aware of all the options currently known such has quantum computer, self assembled molecular 3D computer, DNA computer, photonic chip etc... But what is Intel ACTUALLY working on right now to replace silicon ICs?

Drashek needs to go.
Never before has idiocy on the net actually pissed me off.

What little is left of the INQ staff, please be diligent and delete any Drashek nonsense.

Moore's law is not merely shrinking transistor size via lithography - it is a doubling of transistor density.

When people say the "wall is coming", they speak to simply a lithography wall, not a transistor doubling wall. There are stacked chips and alternate geometries which will further push Moore's law beyond the (myopic?) point of view that Moore's law is simply litho scaling.

Capiche?

just wondering about the comment of Intels competition shipping zero 45nm parts? WTF
I'm pretty sure I can get a 45nm Phenom or a PS3 slim if i really wanted to :P
Or does he mean HiK which everyone else gave up on in favour of SOI?

You did it on purpose or what? Point in my text the exact location where I mention Moore's law... That's exactly it: NEVER. You have to be a very limited individual to have missed my point by such a formidable gap.

I'm fully aware of Moores's law, its meaning and implication, I don't need your insulting patronizing counseling to remind me.

Since you seem to have problem understanding what I'm talking about, let me patronize you for a moment.

You see, there IS a physical limit in shrinking transistors. Physical in the sense that beyond a certain point, there is not enough atoms to build the electron gate within the transistor.

Also, at a certain point, say 8NM, the gate is so small that weird quantum effect start to disrupt the electron flow. That would mean the IC is NOT usable beyond that limit.

We are near that maximum reduction, no matter how you stack the transistors, that's not my point. My point is the reduction limit of the size of the process. You got that??

Now, since we have nearly exhausted the physical reduction capability of silicon, I wonder what kind of new process and/or element will be used in the next paradigm that will come after integrated circuits. If paradigm is to complex of a word for you to understand, go to wikipedia and learn what it means in the context of my original post.

In spite of Editor spitalating out Million in my above post, an Orthodox Sinner from Ham, heres something more On Subject You Might Be Intrested In.

Pic at bottom of page & surprizingly, Just one card has 7 SSD in it, it is loaded with memory chips. However, its actual GB of Storage isn't Larger than Most SSD today.
