Intel 32nm Process, a Hint of Good Things to Come



The new 32nm lithography process allows smaller, more highly integrated chips. The next generation due late 09 / early 10 include CPU (dual core), graphics processor and memory controller (dual channel) in a single package. The new chips are codenamed Clarkdale and Arrandale.

Benefits include reduced power consumption and heat dissipation thereby allowing portable devices with relatively high levels of performance, longer battery life and thinner / light weight designs. Can't wait to see these in laptops!
