Intel launches 22nm node with 3D transistors

This should really speed things up!

Intel has formally unveiled its 22nm chip manufacturing process, and with it a new type of transistor.

In shrinking the manufacturing process every two years, Intel has approached the limits of Moore's Law, that the number of transistors in a given chip area will double every two years. To be more precise, they can continue to shrink the process, but the benefits in terms of power and performance become less as electrical leakage increases.

Check out the article to find out how they solved the problem.
