A six-transistor SRAM cell, which is part of the SRAM test chip used to demonstrate 45 nm functionality. Surprisingly, Intel elected to not present details of its 45 nm technology at the International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) in December, where such milestone announcements are often made.

The date on that article was April'06, so December referred to December 2005. Intel wasn't a no-show, they were the only show with 45nm.

It's a little different when you're talking about the leader. There's an incentive not to disclose details too early, because it might help your competitors catch up. Intel presumably would like to keep (and hope to extend) their 1 year lead.
