Processor Technology
Hey Robert, I'm not up to speed on what cpu is the best or anywhere close to it but the last I read the thinnest cpu were at 45nm. I work in the semiconductor industry and I know what a wafer looks like at 45nm and it's an absolute nightmare to manufacture and handle. Transistor technology can only go so thin, what do you think will replace nano technology? We already use 99.99% gold for conductivity and low resistance, what is the future for cpu technology? Great article, I am intrigued to see what the answers are. :)
