Intel Claims 10Ghz Transistor
[43]Intel Posted by [44]timothy on Sunday March 04, @08:37AM
from the expected-avg.-lifespan-drops-to-8-years dept.
[45]Professional Wild-Eyed Visionary writes: "Intel has developed a new
CMOS chip technology that cranks out 10Ghz, 400 million transistors per
chip, with each transistor only 3 atoms thick, previously thought
impossible. See story at [46]Dial Electronics " While this story's
rather fluffy, it makes it sound like Intel is a few years ahead of
it's earlier projection of [47]reaching 10Ghz by 2005. Of course, maybe
they meant integrated into actual chips;) (in which case 2005 still
sounds nice).

10Ghz transister, not CPU! (Score:2)

A 10Ghz transister can only make a 10Ghz CPU if each pipeline stage
(plus sync overhead) is only a single transister. Which is pretty
impossable (a simple flip flop is several transistors, an adder is a
big pile of them). As I recall the failed 500Mhz PowerPC that some
compony like "eXponential" was making was thought to be extreamly
aggressave with only 50 or so transitor delays between pipe stages (and
some pipe stages were mostly wire delay to get the signals from one
part of the chip to another!). Or maybe I'm confusing that with sombody
or others barrel processer style MediaCPU (also out of bisness).
Tiny transistors are wonderflu. Tiny fast transistors are more
wonderful. But 10Ghz transistors are no where close to letting you make
a 10Ghz CPU. In fact it might be slower then current state of the art
(but smaller). Something in this story doesn't add up.

Intel realise that they are no longer the kings of the chip game. With
their recent P4 release being a total failure, it is only a matter of
time before AMD takes over their current position in the market.
Releasing this kind of "news" only shows that they are simply trying to
play the pr game, rather than actually focusing on proper R and D like
AMD and Transmeta

Cosmic rays? (Score:1)

We normally think of cosmic rays as something that [88]causes bit rot
(though in practice it's alpha particles). In a chip that has
transistors only 3 atoms thick, would this radiation cause physical
damage instead?
If so, we'd need to think about employing a lossy grid of gates, so
that a few failures don't kill the processor.
