At the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco Intel didn't just present the next CPU architecture Sandy Bridge, which will make a debut next year and is produce in a 32 nanometer process, but also the first working chip with a 22 nanometer architecture.
The chips which were shown, contained SRAM memory and more than 2.9 billion transistors. For comparison: A Core i7-900 with 45 nanometer structure only has 731 million transistors. The wafer was produced with Intel's High-k7Metal Gate technology.
Only a short time ago Intel started the mass production of the first 32 nanometer processors which will hit the market as Clarkdale, also known as Core i3/i5, around year's end. The recently launched Lynnfield originates from the 45 nanometer process which was introduced in 2007 with the Penryn.
