Intel says Moore's Law alive and well and living at 32nm
One of the really interesting presentations at least week’s 8th International SoC Conference in Irvine was from Dr Jeff Parkhurst, Research Programs Manager at Intel, who spoke on the topic of “Delivering Cost-effective SoC-Based Platform Solutions.” I found the presentation eye-opening because of the insights it gave me into the current state of the art in chip manufacturing. Parkhurst opened his talk by stating that dimensional scaling, Moore’s Law, is still very much alive and well despite reports to the contrary. He showed a timeline for Intel IC production showing a very regular, 2-year clock tick on dimensional scaling at Intel: 90nm in 2003, 65nm in 2005, 45nm in 2007, 32nm in 2009, and forecasting 22nm in 2011. Interesting, but not news—perhaps.
