AMD And IBM Discovered The Path To 16nm Semiconductors
In the race towards faster processors that use smaller and smaller semiconductors, everyone thought AMD is left behind. In fact, they are behind, at least when talking about what they have on the market at this time. The good news is that AMD, together with IBM, just made one step closer to semiconductors as large as 16nm and even smaller!
The story is very simple - AMD and IBM managed to produce a 45nm chip by using Extreme Ultra-Violet (EUV) litography on its entire 22 mm X 33 mm area, and while this technology was only used for a part of the chip, things are expected to evolve as we all expect - smaller, faster, better. When?Well, that may be a little problem...or not.
The 16nm chips, expected to be fully produced using EUV, should arrive in 2013, according to current estimations, so AMD should keep it up until then. Leaving those grey rumors about AMD being purchased by NVIDIA or someone else, here's the good news of the day - rumors say that Asustek placed a huge Sempron order, to use them with the upcoming products in the E-Monitor, E-TV, and E-DT series.
