" Intel claims to be at “production readiness” with their 32nm next-gen chips, which could mean seeing mainstream processors out as early as the start of the new year."


lol is now the worst time to buy new i5 or i7 ????

and also, i've heard that the smallest silicone technology can go is 16nm. what will be next? 16nm should be out in no more than 2 years from now, at this tempo.

hehe :D nice. and it 2001 ha.

no wonder if the Department of Defense already have something like this. Since all the computer technology that the public see is actually years old. The very first technology upgrades are financed and used by the military. Its how we got the computer in the first place.

22nm is next in line, followed by 16nm. though, within the next 4 years, we may find a new medium to print the chips. graphene anyone?

probably, but if graphene works as well as estimates are saying, then we could expect a standard cpu to outpace a high end gpu quite easily.

how long do you consider some time? 40nm is still relatively new to the markets. i cant wait to see the next die shrink on gpu's though

That article was great.I wonder what they've done by now. Well there is a rumour that Nvidia will wait for the die shrink to beat the HD5870x2.
 


Not if the roumers of a 1.7% yield are true...

Take this for what its worth, but it would explain NVIDIA's silence...
