Tick-Tock Transistors

	Tick-Tock Transistors

We're just three days away from November 12th and the introduction of our first several Penryn-family processors. Penryn is the code-name for Intel's latest 45nm processors manufactured with revolutionary new transistors combining a hafnium-based and High-k, metal gate structures. These new chips will have up to 820 million reinvented transistors on them. Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004, had a mere 2,300 transistors when it was launched in 1971. Intel calls the company's yearly and alternating cadence of new microarchitecture blueprints or manufacturing nanometer process 'shrinks' it's 'Tick-Tock' strategy, and Penryn is on the clock.
