Intel To Ship New Chips in November

Intel fired salvos of technology in smaller rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc.

announced on Tuesday, November launch date for its next generation chips and flaunt its momentum of the manufacturing technologies.

Chief executive Paul Otellini told thousands of people at the scene at the Intel Developer Forum here that the companys next cycle of microprocessors, code-named Lin Peng, will be available for sale on November 12.

Microprocessor is the engine of the personal computer and server power corporate networks and the Internet. Intel, the world microprocessor leadership, command more than three quarters of the market.

Its new chip was introduced a 20% improvement in performance and increased energy efficiency than the previous generation, partly because of the advanced chip manufacturing technology In other words, reducing the size of circuits and new materials for the transistor to maintain energy escape.

Energy loss is a big problem, when the size of transistors, the building blocks of computer chips close to atomic scale.

Average size of the circuit on Intels new chip is 45 nanometer-wide, or 45 billionths of a meter. Intel said the transistors are small enough more than 30 million people, can accommodate the head of a pin.

Both Intel and AMD chips, the now 65-nanometer circuitry, as well as Intel, the car advance in the transition to a small scale.

"Intel push on all cylinders," Otellini said in an interview.

"We are promoting the technology as fast as possible, we must at all times as a company, but More broadly Front . " Otellini said Intel plans to have 15 of the new processors are based on 45-nanometer technology by the end of this year and another 20 in the first quarter of 2008.

AMD spokesman Gary silcott Tuesday that the company on track delivery their chips, using 45-nanometer technology in mid-2008. AMD company has technology development agreement with IBM Otellini also displayed a wafer test chip built on 32-nanometer technology. These chips will be for the mass market until 2009, but Intels the first time publicly announced that the technology further underscoring its manufacturing ahead of AMD.

Otellini demonstrated the chip contains 1.9 billion transistors, and integrates logic functions, as well as a kind of memory known as static random access memory, or SRAM.

However, although AMD is racing to catch up with Intel in manufacturing technology, it has progress in the key design features, Intel is now adopting - Memory controller built directly into the microprocessor.

The device will be incorporated into the Intel processors made 45-nanometer technology and used overhaul designed to track sales began, In "br> the second half of 2008, Otellini said. The processor is code-named nehalem.

Company suffered a 42 per cent decline in profits last year because AMD stole market share squeezed prices. The company has restored its financial base, this year of a new product line.
