“As part of its Developer Forum keynote, Intel today showed the first working example of chips built on a 22 nanometer (nm) process. The process is even smaller than the 32nm technology just entering production and should run even more efficiently while fitting more into a given space,” Electronista reports. “A single example chip about the size of a fingernail contains about 2.9 billion transistors and about 364 megabits (45.5MB) of static RAM.”
Electronista reports, “32nm is only due to enter full scale production late this year and makes 22nm more likely for 2011.”

I only have three words for this.
Holy F*****g S**t.
@Dallas,
And if you think about the meaning of each of those 3 words separately, then putting them back together again becomes all the more weird!
Enough of the vaporware.
Where’s my 32nm Nehalem MBP?
Perhaps, but is it snappier?
AppleJack, since Intel won’t officially introduce a Nehalem mobile processor till next month and the official announcement of the 32 nm chips isn’t expected until early next year, don’t hold your breath.
22 nanometers!
Man, that’s almost smaller than a Conservative’s heart!
“Man, that’s almost smaller than a Conservative’s heart!”
But bigger than a liberal’s brain.
A political follower is a political follower is a political follower no matter a donkey or an elephant. Keep worrying about which side of the aisle to belong, some of us are to busy starring on stage to give two shits.
@ ron,
Good come back!

Don’t embarrass yourself.
alansky? Any relation to Trotsky?
It will integrate a new graphics core into the chip die itself
I’ve been waitng a long time, for that Amiga custom graphics chipset.
So maybe 4Ghz, 10 Ghz ?
Come on REALLY, how about at least 3.5-4 Ghz.
22 manometers!
That’s almost as big as ron’s penis!
Oh, stop squabbling. SGB said something funny and ron had an even better comeback. I’m a liberal and I lol’d.
@Adam
ron does it all with smoke and mirrors!
@Sir Gill Bates… Give credit where it’s due.
A single cell is MUCH bigger than 22 nanometers!
@alansky
“@ron:
Don’t embarrass yourself.”
Good Post alansky!!! Post like yours make it really easy to identify sub-human trash like yourself, sitting on your fat ass waiting for Obama to take money from working people and give it to scum like you!!!!
Have a nice life you relief bum….
I don’t smoke and I’m not narcissistic. Spell that one!!
“ron does it all with smoke and mirrors!”
“I don’t smoke and I’m not narcissistic.”

A perfect illustration, proving Sir Gill Bates’ original point.
My copy of XP is going to fly on that there 22 nm chip.
It’ll be able to infect itself with 1000s of viruses per second.
Less heat, less resistance, faster. Nice. But we’re approaching the limit of the size reductions…It’d be nicer to know what Intel/AMD have in the works for the world beyond the current processor production and design methods. Circuitry one atom wide and then what?
…good news that Intel isn’t resting too much. Sounds like 22nm chips are on schedule to hit the market in 2011. There were rumors that Intel would pause for a while to milk the current 45nm Nehalem / upcoming 32nm Westmere cash cow that currently has no significant competition.
The next generation 32nm “Sandy Bridge” architecture ought to be here in late 2010, unless Microsoft successfully petitions that it can’t keep up with this rate of progress. Multiprocessing never was a Windows strong suit.
