Intel Fabs SRAM at 65nm

We're (finally) moving towards the end of the memory/CPU bottleneck

That is some achievement to get down to 35nm transistors! We WILL eventually hit a limit to how small we can make silicon and copper chips. Other technologies will be found no doubt. One might be using carbon nanotubes as transistors as they appear to be on way to making them but this will take ages in my opinion to hit production lines (if at all).

Eventually, and it seems it won't take long, as companies appear to push the limits on silicon/copper side by side with their R&D on new materials

oooooooo tiny:p

Yep, the biggest one you can get lol :t

What ever happened to MRAM? I was thinking that was the next step in R&D.

This stuff is pretty L33t.

What it means, is that we are nearing the end of this technology. So what is next? Where do we go when we get stuck at the smallest atomic transistors?

I have no doubt that we will find a way. And that will be L33t too.
