At today’s San Francisco event, Intel mostly discussed what we know about the upcoming Westmere processor, but revealed they’re scrapping the next dual-core 45nm processors, in favour of 32nm Westmere chips in early 2010.
Think Intel’s breakthrough 45-nanometer chips are impressive stuff? Intel thought at one time dipping below 100nm would be miraculous, but Intel exec Pat Gelsinger says that “today we see a clear way to get to under 10 nanometers,” and it’ll be within the next 10 years.
