BBC NEWS | Technology | Chips push through nano-barrier: "Critical leaks
...The development means the fundamental 'law' that underpins the development of all microchips, known as Moore's Law, remains intact.
The proposition, articulated by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965, states that the number of transistors on a chip could double every 24 months.
After more than 10 years of effort, we now have a way forward

The new Intel processors, codenamed Penryn, will pack more than four hundred million transistors into a chip half the size of a postage stamp.
Like current processors, they will come in dual-core and quad-core versions, meaning they will have two or four separate processors on each chip. The company has not said how fast the new devices will run.
The production of 45nm technology has been the goal of chip manufacturers ever since they conquered 65nm transistors..."
