Reports from San Francisco: Intel’s 22nm Silicon Technology

San Francisco – As if to prove that ‘Moore’s Law’ has not stale, CEO of Intel opened the Intel Developers Forum (IDF) in 2009 with 22nm silicon display. In fact, the new 32nm-based products will come out.

This was revealed by the CEO of Intel, Paul S. Otellini, while opening the Intel Developers Forum 2009, which was held in Moscone West, San Francisco, United States, 22-24 September 2009.

“We have started production of the first 32nm microprocessors. At the same time, we have started the development of 22nm and have created a chip that can work with it,” said Otellini

Otellini demonstrated this new silicon, is not a microprocessor. Objects of shiny round discs measuring 12″ is a chip SRAM or Static RAM.

Making SRAM is the first step in a new manufacturing process. In addition to SRAM, the chip also contains logic circuits and mixed signal.

22nm silicon, according to Otellini, Intel’s shows that the time was too long to issue 22nm-based products. Yet, at the same time, Intel announced that the 32nm-based products will begin to spread in the last quarter of 2009.

“22nm-based processes are ready to begin production in second half of the 2010, according to our biennial cycle.” At Intel, Moore’s Law is alive and triumphant, “said Otellini.

‘Moore’s Law’ mentioned a biennial cycle for increasing the capacity of the transistor. ‘Law’ has become a challenge for Intel to continue to improve their ability to microprocessor production.
