The 45-nanometer process rush seems to have ended right after Intel launched the Penryn series. Foundries have sketched a mass-production plan, but major vendors are already chasing another ghost: the development of high-k dielectrics and metal gates for the 32-nm node. The high-k and metal gates are the major obsta... |

Intel has already been taking advantage of the brand-new 45-nanometer family of Penryns for some time, yet AMD missed the train, since all their competitive products are handicapped and had to be pulled off the shelves. There's always a second chance and the only thing the company should focus on is the next-gen... |

The processor stage is a round-the-clock race for delivering the latest technology working at highest speeds and, of course at the lowest price. AMD had a little too many pit-stops lately, which gave Intel enough room to expand over the market. AMD is planning on catching up with the technology and made a march towar... |
