Intel shows 22nm wafer at IDF

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 09/23/2009 09:50 AM | source: | 0 comment(s)

Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini displayed a silicon wafer containing the worlds first working chips built on 22nm process technology at IDF, San Francisco yesterday. The 22nm test circuits include both SRAM memory as well as logic circuits to be used in future Intel microprocessors.

"At Intel, Moores Law is alive and thriving," said Otellini. "Weve begun production of the worlds first 32nm microprocessor, which is also the first high-performance processor to integrate graphics with the CPU. At the same time, were already moving ahead with development of our 22nm manufacturing technology and have built working chips that will pave the way for production of still more powerful and more capable processors."

The 22nm wafer displayed by Otellini is made up of individual die containing 364 million bits of SRAM memory and has more than 2.9 billion transistors packed into an area the size of a fingernail. The chips contain the smallest SRAM cell used in working circuits ever reported at .092 square microns. The devices rely on a third-generation high-k metal gate transistor technology for improved performance and lower leakage power.

By continuing to lead in manufacturing technology Intel is able to innovate and integrate new features and functions into its processors. Intels 32nm process is now certified and Westmere processor wafers are moving through the factory in support of planned fourth quarter revenue production. Following the move to 32nm Intel will subsequently introduce Sandy Bridge, Intels next new microarchitecture. Sandy Bridge will feature a sixth generation graphics core on the same die as the processor core and includes AVX instructions for floating point, media, and processor intensive software.

By continuing to drive the pace of innovation Intel is addressing the needs of entirely new market segments including netbooks, handhelds, consumer electronics and embedded applications. "Intel Core and Atom-based processors have generated unprecedented excitement and opportunities in our key growth areas," Otellini said. "To build on this momentum, were working on ways to create a seamless Internet experience for people across all their computing devices. Today were announcing a program to encourage development of software applications that can be written once, but run on Windows and Moblin devices ?expanding their reach to more devices and consumers."

The Intel Atom Developer Program provides a framework for independent software vendors (ISVs) and software developers to create and sell applications for netbooks and other Intel
