SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- Intel has revealed details about some important techniques it will use to make chips in the years ahead, advances seen as essential for the company to continue its steady progress toward faster, smaller, cheaper microprocessors.
In a wide-ranging presentation Thursday, executives at the Intel Developer Forum here described their plans to use new materials and new structures to create the microscopic transistors that smother the surface of silicon chips. Besides boosting PC performance, the techniques should enable new chips that combine communications with computation, reducing the cost and increasing the power of cell phones, network equipment, and other gear.
