Intel has produced what are believed to be the industry's first fully functional static random access memory (SRAM) chips using 45-nanometer (nm) process technology, our next-generation, high-volume semiconductor manufacturing process.

This important milestone demonstrates that we are on track for 2007 to manufacture chips on 300mm wafers using the new 45nm (P1266) process, in accordance with Moore's Law.

"Being first to high-volume with 65nm process technology and the first with a working 45nm chip highlights Intel's leadership position in chip technology and manufacturing," says Bill Holt, vice president, general manager, Intel Technology and Manufacturing Group.

As of early 2006, Intel is the only company in high-volume production of semiconductors on 65nm technology, the industry's most advanced process. We have two manufacturing facilities making 65nm chips in Arizona and Oregon, and two more coming online in 2006 in Ireland and Oregon.

It's pretty clear who has the momentum in this race. This is not new news. This is from the first of the year. There are interesting times indeed.

nice. i wonder how much it improves transistor performance over 65nm.. and how long it'll take them from making an sram chip (REAL simple) to something like... say, kentsfield (real complex) :D
 
intel further extends the lead.

think a grayhound armed with kryptonite can catch superman?
 
Intel is beating AMD , intel just released 65NM last week and now doing 45NM? AMD is far back i dont know what amd is going to bring up their sleeve, AMD has'nt even finished theiir 65NM and they have problems on the voltage , time will take us.

proof other than what the inq is saying? you do know that there was an site a while back showing an ES @ 2.0ghz, 1.25v was stamped on the IHS? ;)

but other than that, of course intel is beating amd to process size milestones. they've always been ahead, and this will probably not change for a long time, if ever. ;)

AMD did theirs 3 months after Intel. Intel's is more dense, though.

I consider it a lot more important when a company has a product in the retail chain. AMD has demonstrated 65nm ability, but still no products to show for it.

Didn't intel release 65nm a long time ago, with the 9xx processors?

All of those die-hard AMD fans in the 12-16 range that got into computers when AMD was on top are about to be in for a rude awakening.

what does that have to do with me? I was just answering someones question. :rolleyes:

I don't think he was attacking you trek554. Your answer showed intel was way ahead of amd with the 65nm process, therefore his response ... I think.

Nothing against you trek, sorry I made you feel that way.

i guess conroe wasn't enough for them to see the light of the savior? :p

I think you could say an obscure asian website with what might be non-chopped pics (who knows) might be just a tad behind theinq's credibility level. :D

(the below is not directed anyone inparticular)
You know the news guys can for the [H] can take shots at the inq from time to time, but it doesn't keep them from clipping an inq story on the front page, I guess you only believe what you want to believe...which I believe is true ;)
 
(cf)Eclipse said:
yeah, intel is usually better at making denser sram.. :cool:

yep that's been a very consistent trend over the years. For some reason AMD simply cannot make sram as dense as Intel can. That probably was a lot of their motivation for the on-die mem controller...it makes makes cache performance (where they tend to have problems) less important.
