Intel Announces New Production Method That Could Improve Chip Performance by 20%
It seems Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) is preparing to manufacture a set of processors that will be significantly more powerful than the current products on the market.
On Thursday, Chief Architect Raja Koduri revealed that the company has devised a novel way of manufacturing transistors, and will be utilizing a new material to improve capacitors. These modifications, he said, should result in an improvement of up to 20% in processor performance.
This will be "the largest intra-node jump ever in our history," Koduri said in an interview with Reuters. "It's actually [the] same as what you would get with one full Moore's Law node of performance."
