Blazing a trail, Intel moved to 32 nm technology in the early 2010 and launched its WESTMERE family of chips which include core i3, core i5 and core i7 processors. With their unmatched specifications and efficiency these processors have left silver mark in the horizon of digital computing and within no time have made rooms in most of the laptops and PCs manufactured these days.
These 32 nm chips utilizes smaller manufacturing process as compared to the earlier used 45 nm technology. The smaller size allows space for more cores onto a single chip and makes it more energy efficient.
Intel's rival AMD was a bit late to join this party of moving from 45 nm to 32 nm technology . Chasing Intel in this race AMD recently announced that laptops and desktops with its 32 nm A-series processors dwelling inside them will be available this quarter, i.e., before the end of April. AMD has really been involved in some serious work in the recent days and the latest FUSION processor from them was really a big achievement. We hope that they keep up with their good work in 32 nm chips as well

But this technology works in Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) As a Resolution Enhancement Technique which is fast but there will be a big risk of Mask Error Enhancement.............
ReplyDeletedear! what you are talking about is layout process of these processors and at this level it is indeed challenging but they have made it possible using Immersion Lithography and Hi-k Metal Gate (HKMG) technology.
ReplyDeletewell this is totally a different aspect and these challenges existed for the 45mn technology as well!!
