Intel create new design smaller

When Intel efforts to reduce its processors while maintaining the speed started a brick wall, his assistants silicon chip covered concerned the wisdom of conventional design. The result of a decade of research is a processor called Ivy Bridge, the smaller, faster and - perhaps most importantly, mobile in the world - more energy efficient. Intel showed a prototype of desktops, laptops and servers with the new chip at a press conference on Wednesday. It is not ready for production later this year or early next year, executives said. 

The company declined to name potential partners for hardware, but Intel is the largest supplier of processors for PCs and notebooks, including Apple, Dell and Hewlett-Packard. Intel has virtually no presence in smartphones and tablets of the fastest growing sectors of the electronics. The new design is expected to force the company entering the arena, said managers.
ARM Holdings, a developer of chip British companies dominated much of the mobile market thanks to its efficient processors that requires little battery power. Nvidia, another chip maker has also envisaged the development of mobile processors. Unlike Intel, ARM has not to sell their chips in volume. Apple, Nintendo, Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and other licenses ARM chip design for their products. Many gadget makers that use the ARM models also pay buy Intel chips for its computers and servers.
Despite promises failed Intel supply a chip for low-power miniature gadgets like cell phones and tablet PCs, with their relatively small batteries. Electronics manufacturing partners and investors are restless. Development was Intel Wednesday was a decade in the making, "said Mark Bohr, Intel Senior Fellow. It uses a three-dimensional structure, more processing lanes in each transistor, the microscopic unit, which amplifies the electronic signals and pack is a component of all electronic devices.
Traditionally, the transistor channels were located on a flat surface. Intel engineers have these channels, the neurons in the brain, recorded by a computer and refocused their place in small rooms. Intel refers to the design of a "fundamental break" from the transistor structure to two dimensions, the electronics in computers, cars, appliances and other equipment for decades.
Intel said the 3-D transistors are so small that could fit more than 100 million people on the head of a pin. The transistor from Bell Labs in 1947, was built, large enough to reconstruct by hand. "Transistors have entered the third dimension," Bohr said on stage. He said the new design will help the company doubled the limits of Moore's Law, the theory of co-founder of Intel Gordon Moore that the number of transistors will fit on a chip every two years or.
The architecture of the chip at the Ivy Bridge, a version for full-power computers and servers designed to be used its way into other areas, such as an Intel Atom-based mobile, "said Dadi Perlmutter, vice president of the Intel Architecture Group. "This is one of the fundamental things we believe we are very competitive," said Perlmutter, and will certainly help us to move forward in the ARM system, because we have the advantage of process technology. " Atom processor with the new transistor schematic 3-D could come as early as mid to late 2012, David Kanter, an analyst said on technology.
"The smartphone market is only one kind of news," said Kanter. In research and development of the processor Intel has a lead of one year to the world, and now it is expanding. " The performance improvement with Ivy Bridge over previous generations of processors improvements "very, very important in the context," said Kanter. Ivy's Bridge is 37% more efficient than current high-end Intel processors with lower voltage, so that Intel's "most important announcement of the technology of the year," said a spokesman.
Bohr, Intel stock was so much said: "We have never had this kind of performance gains achieved at the low voltage to earlier technology." could the possibility of 3-D method used to produce mass Intel chips give a lead of three years over its competitors, "said Bohr. The concept has been demonstrated by Intel in 2002. "The general structure and is known in the industry," said Bohr. "The real challenge is to make them."
