Electronic engineers have finally discovered a solution for the inherent problems of Moore's law. It's called "3D" transistors. Meaning that transistors are stacked on top of each other, instead of trying to fit more of them onto chips horizontally. This should open up a whole new realm of possibilities to make microprocessors faster and more efficient.

This new technology will be implemented into the next-gen "ivy bridge" processor from Intel.
