I am not sure if this has been posted yet. The Dec 4th issue of Business Week has an article on Intel and some of their problems.

From a Yahoo article:

"Intel plans to discuss at a San Francisco conference this week a prototype of a transistor that is just 0.03 microns wide, compared with 0.13 for most transistors today, the paper said. That could enable chips that have 400 million transistors and run at speeds as fast as 10 gigahertz, it said.

Today's Pentium 4 processors, by contrast, contain 42 million transistors and run at 1.5 gigahertz, the paper said, adding that the new technology is expected to start appearing in Intel's products in 2005.

Doing Same

But will the IPC be like? From 1.5 to 10 GHz in 5 years is 50% compounded annual increase. And will I be able to achieve a 55% OC like this new Duron (and I was relatively timid on my maximum temperature comfort zone [50C] - apparently the Asus A7V "over-reports").
