Intel Progress in CMOS Line Widths
Intel says that 32-nanometer is next. The first 32-nanometer wafers have been shown. Intel says it will
become a mass-production reality in September 2009.
10 micrometer process
3 micrometer process
1.5 micrometer meter process
1.0 micrometer process
800 nanometer process
600 nanometer process
350 nanometer process
250 nanometer process
180 nanometer process
130 nanometer process
90 nanometer 90/130 squared is 0.48 or about 1/2
65 nanometer 65/90 squared is 0.52 or about 1/2
2008 - 45 nanometer 45/65 squared is 0.48 or about 1/2
2010 - 32 nanometer 32/45 squared is 0.506 or about 1/2
