Intel Samples 45nm Penryn Processors
Intel Corp. has announced that it is making prototypes of computer processors using new manufacturing techniques that further shrink circuitry, making the chips run faster and use less power. Penryn is rumored to be a dual-core, 45nm shrink of the Merom processor that is common in new laptops powered by Intel.
The sample processors, known as the Penryn family within Intel, are being made at a factory in Oregon, and the company is on track to begin selling the chips in the second half of 2007, said Mark Bohr, director of process architecture and integration at Intel. "We are processing the first samples of the Penryn design. These samples will go back to the design team to determine if design is working as expected," Bohr told Reuters in an interview.
