Associate described plans in the field of semiconductor technology development . Up to 2022 the company expects to produce in series chips with the observance of 4 nm standards. Taking in account the dimensions of silicon atom, it is possible to say that the chip elements will have the width of approximately 40 atoms.
It is complicated to believe in a similar statement . However, it is worthwhile to recall that twelve years ago almost no one could believe in the mastery of 45-nm technology.
If we trace Intel plans in the field of technology production in the past years and their realization, it is possible to come to the conclusion that the company accurately follows the planned course.
Thus Intel expects the passage to the thinner standards to improve the existing technology, simultaneously hoping for the miracle technological breakthrough, which is necessary for the passage to the 8 nm.
Now some processors consist of 800 million transistors. If we substitute this number in the formula of Moore's law, the models of 100 billion transistors must appear to 2022. The growth of core quantity is failing against the ineffectiveness of architectures, used in general purpose processors.
