CPU's 45nm

[VE2007]

Hi,

What is the difference between the 45nm and the 65nm?
Is it worth waiting for the 45nm and which motherboard does the 45nm take?
do we need to buy new ram the ddr3 for the new motherboard that takes the 45nm
thanks

Literally..? It's 20nm

Of course you're probably asking about feature differences between Intel's 45nm chips and their 65nm chips?

You can check out this article for some information:

Those are the first 45nm chips, from Intel, right?

20% more GHz, 30% less watts is how I understand it. Tomorrow is always going to be better than today. If you keep waiting, you'll never get anything.

And a richer featureset, with SS4 instructions
