Intel's Ultra-Low Power Manufacturing Process
Posted by Darius Wey in "NEWS" @ 02:00 PM
"Intel Corporation is developing an ultra-low power derivative of its high-performance 65 nanometer (nm) logic manufacturing process that will enable production of very low-power chips for mobile platforms and small-form factor devices. The ultra-low power process will be Intel's second process based on 65 nm process technology. Intel's high-performance 65nm (a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter) process provides both power consumption and performance benefits over Intel's current industry-leading 90nm manufacturing process. The company's new ultra-low power 65nm process provides Intel chip designers additional options in delivering the circuit density, performance and power consumption required by users of battery-operated devices."
Intel claims that this ultra-low power manufacturing process will yield low-power chips for mobile devices with one aim in mind: an improvement in battery life. They hope to minimise any electrical leaks which are commonly seen in today's microscopic transistors.
