INTEL & IBM BREAKTHROUGH TO EXTEND MOORE'S LAW

Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, predicted in 1965 that innovations in integrated circuit materials, designs, and other innovations would allow for the number of transistors on an integrated circuit to double every two years. This is known as Moore's Law. An announcement on Friday by IBM and Intel should extend Moore's Law into the foreseeable future. The innovation uses a new exotic material in the manufacture of integrated circuits and will allow chips to be made with circuitry as small as 45 nanometers, which is 1/2000th the width of a human hair.
