Intel Wednesday demonstrated its revolutionary three-dimensional (3-D) Tri-Gate transistor technology in a 22-nm microprocessor, code-named Ivy Bridge, that is already being used in prototype laptops, ...

The IT industry loves the concept of “innovation,” but many vendors’ hearts largely belong to just the most conventional sorts of wisdom. That adoration takes a number of shapes: Stone Age business ...

KYOTO, Japan — Intel Corp. here on Thursday (June 12) revealed new details of its advanced “tri-gate” transistor design, claiming the technology could be deployed at the 45-nm node in 2007. Hedging ...

Intel Corp. researchers have developed a three-dimensional “tri-gate” transistor design that achieves higher performance with greater power efficiency than traditional planar (flat) transistors. “Our ...

Shown are the vertical fins of Intel’s 3D Tri-Gate transistors passing through the gates. For the first time, a three-dimensional transistor will go into volume production, and it will be manufactured ...

Intel is calling its Tri-Gate 3D Transistor the most significant development since the transistor was invented over 50 years ago. But regardless of whether the claim will hold true, the CPU design ...

When it comes to 3D transistors, you've probably heard of FinFET -- the 3D, "Tri-gate" transistors that are taking Intel (and eventually other silicon foundries) to 22nm and beyond-- but now a ...

The chipmaker plans to unveil more details behind its Tri-Gate transistor, an experimental circuit that could be important in the company's quest to keep up with Moore's Law. Michael Kanellos is ...

Chipmaking giant Intel has announced that it has developed a viable method for manufacturing “3D” tri-gate transistors, a development which promised to enable the company to manufacturer future ...

Engineers added a fin-shaped structure to the part of the transistor that acts as a conducting channel for electrons; with the extra depth, more current flows through the transistor. They also ...

Transistors, the building blocks of microprocessors, may have only one place to go in the future according to Intel researchers: up. At a presentation in Japan this week, the Santa Clara, Calif.-based ...
