In the first announcement stage of 14-nm processors Broadwell-Y (Core M), Intel changed the transition to FinFET-structure second generation. Now, on the same square you can fit more transistors, as they stretched up and became more compact at the bottom.
Italian colleagues have found that Intel in the past few days since the end of 2014 to the beginning of IFA 2014 IDF managed to smuggle a presentation describing the number of transistors in Broadwell-Y processors. If at the beginning of the month marketing materials mentioned the presence of 1.3 billion transistors., Now this number has increased to 1.9 billion. Transistors.
History knows an example of such double counting: in 2011, AMD made a mistake in calculating the number of transistors in Bulldozer processors. Related Products :
