The semiconductor industry is on the move. The shift to 45-nanometer process technology is the next engineering milestone and is expected to boost processor performance, while reducing size, energy use, and manufacturing costs. It will also address a power leakage problem common with current technologies. At the forefront of this change is Intel, pushing the silicon envelope to new boundaries and extending Intel processor solutions into every segment of the computer market.
