Intel leaps down under to 45nm
Intel has just declared that it will be investing 3bn$ in a 300mm wafer fabrication facility in Chandler Arizona. This "Fab 32" will start churning out chips using 45nm process technology. For the uninitiated, 45nm will be the length of the gate in the MOSFET (transistor). Considering that current Intel processors use the 90nm node, this will be a giant leap. Exciting times ahead for nano super computers ... call it Ultra Large Scale Integration (ULSI).

Just when you though the nightmares of the 90nm and 65nm node were over Intel introduces another frankenstein..Boy! i cant wait to get my hands dirty and have some fun.
